contents We develop the theory of Poisson and Dirac manifolds of compact types, a broad generalization in Poisson and Dirac geometry of compact Lie algebras and Lie groups. We establish key structural results, including local normal forms, canonical stratifications, and a Weyl type resolution, which provides a way to resolve the singularities of the original structure. These tools allow us to show that the leaf space of such manifolds is an integral affine orbifold and to define their Weyl group. This group is a Coxeter group acting on the orbifold universal cover of the leaf space by integral affine transformations, and one can associate to it Weyl chambers, reflection hyperplanes, etc. We further develop a Duistermaat-Heckman theory for Poisson manifolds of s-proper type, proving the linear variation of cohomology of leafwise symplectic form and establishing a Weyl integration formula. As an application, we show that every Poisson manifold of compact type is necessarily regular. We conclude the paper with a list of open problems.
