Recent developments in the field of integrability include the discovery of higher-dimensional generalised Chern-Simons theories. These theories encode a linear system known as a Lax pair which underpins the integrability of the lower-dimensional theory. We will start with a generous review of these developments before presenting some extensions of this formalism. The applications of these extensions include: integrable deformations (a class of less-symmetric string backgrounds which are nonetheless integrable), stationary axisymmetric general relativity, and gauged WZW models.
