Abstract
These lectures address the effects of Cosmic Rays over macro-instabilities which develop in the interstellar medium and the micro-instabilities the particles are able to trigger themselves. The lectures are centered on the derivation of linear growth rates but also discuss some numerical simulations addressing the issue of magnetic field saturation. A particular emphasis is made on the streaming instability, an instability driven by anisotropic cosmic-ray distributions.
