Studying the instanton-induced contributions to various hard exclusive reactions
provides physical insight into the transition from the non-perturbative to the
perturbative regime of QCD. To this end, we calculate the leading-instanton contributions
to the electromagnetic and transition form factors using an effective theory of the
instanton liquid model. We report predictions for the electromagnetic form factor Fp(Q2) of the pion as well as novel results for the
proton Dirac form factor F1(Q2).
