A convenient framework for dealing with hadron structure and hadronic physics in the few-GeV energy range is relativistic quantum mechanics. Unlike relativistic quantum field theory, one deals with a fixed, or at least restricted number of degrees of freedom while maintaining relativistic invariance. For systems of interacting particles this is achieved by means of the, so called, Bakamjian-Thomas construction, which is a systematic procedure for implementing interaction terms in the generators of the Poincare group such that their algebra is preserved. Doing relativistic quantum mechanics in this way one, however, faces a problem connected with the physical requirement of cluster separability as soon as one has more than two interacting particles. Cluster separability, or sometimes also termed macroscopic causality, is the property that if a system is subdivided into subsystems which are then separated by a sufficiently large spacelike distance, these subsystems should behave independently. In the present contribution we discuss the problem of cluster separability and sketch the procedure to resolve it.

An appropriate framework for dealing with hadron structure and hadronic physics in the few-GeV energy range is relativistic quantum mechanics. The Bakamjian-Thomas construction provides a systematic procedure for implementing interactions in a relativistic invariant way. It leads, however, to problems with cluster separability. It has been known for some time, due to Sokolovs pioneering work, that mass operators with correct cluster properties can be obtained through a series of unitary transformations making use of so-called packing operators. In the present contribution we sketch an explicit construction of packing operators for three-particle systems consisting of distinguishable, spinless particles.
A brief review of relativistic effects in few-body systems, of theoretical approaches, recent developments and applications is given. Manifestations of relativistic effects in the binding energies, in the electromagnetic form factors and in three-body observables are demonstrated. The three-body forces of relativistic origin are also discussed.
A procedure to solve few-body problems is developed which is based on an expansion over a small parameter. The parameter is the ratio of potential energy to kinetic energy for states having not small hyperspherical quantum numbers, K>K_0. Dynamic equations are reduced perturbatively to equations in the finite-dimension subspace with Kle K_0. Contributions from states with K>K_0 are taken into account in a closed form, i.e. without an expansion over basis functions. Estimates on efficiency of the approach are presented.

Hadronic composite states are introduced as few-body systems in hadron physics. The $Lambda(1405)$ resonance is a good example of the hadronic few-body systems. It has turned out that $Lambda(1405)$ can be described by hadronic dynamics in a modern technology which incorporates coupled channel unitarity framework and chiral dynamics. The idea of the hadronic $bar KN$ composite state of $Lambda(1405)$ is extended to kaonic few-body states. It is concluded that, due to the fact that $K$ and $N$ have similar interaction nature in s-wave $bar K$ couplings, there are few-body quasibound states with kaons systematically just below the break-up thresholds, like $bar KNN$, $bar KKN$ and $bar KKK$, as well as $Lambda(1405)$ as a $bar KN$ quasibound state and $f_{0}(980)$ and $a_{0}(980)$ as $bar KK$.
