contents We provide a pedagogical introduction to Regge theory as it pertains to the study of hadrons and their interactions. We clarify the fundamental concepts of analyticity in the complex angular momentum plane and their implications for scattering amplitudes. We highlight historical developments that significantly shaped our understanding of scattering theory and the strong interaction, both before and following the discovery of QCD. We end with a review of more recent applications of Regge theory in QCD phenomenology, including describing exchange processes, constraining low-energy amplitudes, and analyzing resonances in the complex angular momentum plane.
