A new formalism for treating the relativistic celestial mechanics of systems of N, arbitrarily composed and shaped, weakly self-gravitating, rotating, deformabile bodies is presented. This formalism is aimed at yielding a complete description, at the first post-Newtonian approximation level, of (i) the global dynamics of such N-body systems (“external problem”), (ii) the local gravitational structure of each body (“internal problem”), and, (iii) the way the external and the internal problems fit together (“theory of reference systems”).
