The phenomena of solar activity are connected with a general magnetic field of-the Sun which is due to a dynamo process essentially determined by the α-effect and the differential rotation in the convection zone. A few observational facts are summarized which are important for modelling this process. The basic ideas of the solar dynamo theory, with emphasis on the mean-field approach, are explained, and a critical review of the dynamo models investigated so far is given. Although several models reflect a number of essential features of the solar magnetic cycle there are many open questions. Part of them result from lack of knowledge of the structure of the convective motions and the differential rotation. Other questions concern, for example, details of the connection of the α-effect and related effects with the convective motions, or the way in which the behaviour of the dynamo is influenced by the back-reaction of the magnetic field on the motions.
