Abstract: The main purpose of this note is to establish an effective version of the Grunwald--Wang Theorem, which asserts that given a family of local characters

c h i^{v}

of

K_{v}^{*}

of exponent

m

where

v i n S

for a finite set

S

of primes of

K

, there exists a global character

c h i

of the idele class group

C_{K}

of exponent

m

(unless some special case occurs, when it is

2 m

) whose component at

v

is

c h i^{v}

. The effectiveness problem for this theorem is to bound the norm

N (c h i)

of the conductor of

c h i

in terms of

K

,

m

,

S

and

N (c h i^{v})

. The Kummer case (when

K

contains

m u_{m}

) is easy since it is almost an application of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. In this note, we solve this problem completely in general case, and give three versions of bound, one is with GRH, and the other two are unconditional bounds. These effective results have some interesting applications in concrete situations. To give a simple example, if we fix
