<b>Exotic Hadron Spectroscopy </b><br>
<br>
The past decade witnessed a remarkable proliferation of exotic
charmonium-like resonances <br>
discovered at accelerators. In particular, the recently observed
charged states are clearly not <br>
interpretable as q-qbar mesons. Notwithstanding the considerable
advances on the experimental <br>
side, conflicting theoretical descriptions do not seem to provide a
definitive picture about the <br>
nature of the so-called XYZ particles. I will discuss why the recent
experimental discoveries speak<br>
in favour of the existence of compact four-quark particles
(tetraquarks).
