Effective Supersymmetry is presented as a theory of physics above the
electroweak scale which has significant theoretical advantages over bo
th the standard model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (M
SSM). The theory is supersymmetric at short distances but differs sign
ificantly from the MSSM. Flavor symmetry violation is intimately relat
ed to supersymmetry breaking. There is a new physics scale <(M)over Ba
r> similar to 5-20 TeV which sets the mass of the first two sparticle
families. Supersymmetric sources of CP violation and flavor changing n
eutral currents for the first two families are suppressed. Effective S
upersymmetry can be implemented with automatic suppression of baryon a
nd lepton number violation and a dynamically generated mu term, while
maintaining naturalness in the Higgs sector. There are implications fo
r new particle searches, flavor and CP violation experiments, as well
as for the construction of theories of flavor and dynamical supersymme
try breaking.
