A new approach to a plasma kinetic description is discussed, the beginnings of which were published recently (Erofeev 1997a). It is shown that calculations of the three-wave collision integral following this approach confirm the intensity and structure of the three-wave collision integral obtained in the traditional theory. The reported kinetics extend the area of applicability for the weak plasma turbulence theory: apart from waves it properly accounts for the effect of various other plasma nonlinear structures of the type of solitons, drift vortices, collapsing cavities and so on. Some directions for further studies are also discussed.

Certain unfamiliar terms in renormalized plasma turbulence theory are interpreted in terms of the familiar physics of the Balescu–Lenard collision operator. Specifically, it is argued that the so-called polarization parts of the operator which renormalizes the particle propagator are related to fluctuations of the Fokker–Planck coefficient which describes polarization drag, and to fluctuations of the effective dielectric function of the medium.
