In this thesis we describe the properties of glueball phenomenology within a nonlocal covariant constituent approach. The search for glueballs, their theoretical description and the mixing with quarkonia mesons is an active and unsolved issue of hadronic QCD. Different models and assignements have been proposed, but up to now no certain statement about their existence can be done. After introducing the theoretical framework in which we will work in, the attention will be focused on the problem of the scalar glueball, which lattice QCD predicts to be the lightest gluonic state with a mass between 1.4-1.8 GeV. In the same mass region one encounters many scalar resonances; mixing between the bare glueball and quarkonia states is therefore li...
