In the last decade there have been several contributions toward establishing the Minimal Model Program for Kahler varieties. Even though there is not an easy generalization of the projective MMP to the Kahler MMP (no ample divisor, less subvarieties, key theorems of the projective MMP are not available), several tools have been developed in order to get similar results from the projective case. In this talk, I will introduce a notion of generalized pairs for Kahler varieties and explain how they give a more flexible notion to study the MMP in the Kahler setup. This is joint work with Omprokash Das and Christopher Hacon.
