dc.description.abstractOne of the main uses of polarimetry over the last decade has been to identify the nature of AGN that are normally hidden from direct view by an optically and geometrically thick torus, and thereby to unify different classes of AGN. Of growing importance is the role that polarimetry can play in our understanding of the properties and structure of AGN on a size scale which cannot be resolved directly. We review the progress being made in understanding the role of disks, extended scattering regions, and the obscuring torus in AGN.en
