I discuss recent developments on non-leptonic and radiative kaon decays mainly related to direct CP-violation within the combined ChPT and 1/N c expansion approaches. In particular, I review the status of K → ππ, ε ′ K , direct CP-violating K + → 3π Dalitz plot slope g and decay rate asymmetries, and the Standard Model prediction for Br(K L → π 0 e + e − ).
