Abstract
We outline a derivation of area law of the Wilson loop in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in the maximal Abelian gauge. This is based on a new version of non-Abelian Stokes theorem and the novel reformulation of the Yang-Mills theory. Abelian dominance and monopole dominance of the string tension in SU(N) QCD are immediate consequences of this derivation.
