The dynamics of abelian vector and antisymmetric tensor gauge fields can be described in terms of twisted self-duality equations. The latter play an important role in exposing the duality symmetries of the theory. I this contribution I review recent progress in the construction of action principles for these equations and in particular their non-abelian generalizations.
