This book examines attitudes about equality among youth elites in Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. Using data gathered from over 8,000 undergraduates from 1982 to 1987 in these five countries, the author argues that the attitudinal structures of these youth elites has far reaching consequences for the political and economic agendas of advanced industrial democracies.

Although a history of protest politics has done so much to define western Canada and to place it outside the Canadian mainstream, the aspirations and frustrations that animated western discontent over the years have been replaced by a new reality: the West is in, and many of the levers of national economic and political power rest in western Canadian hands. The protest tradition has yielded a dynamic region that leads rather than reacts to national economic, social, and political change.
 The westward shift of the Canadian economy and demography is likely to be an enduring structural change that reflects and is reinforced by the transformation of the continental and global economies. At the same time, western Canada faces major challenges, including finding a place for a sustainable resource economy in a rapidly changing global environment, establishing a full and modern partnership with Aboriginal peoples, and creating urban environments that will attract and retain human capital. None of these challenges are unique to the West but they all play out with great force, and great immediacy, in western Canada.

How do Western Canadians see the national community - and how do they regard themselves? In concise and readable fashion this book explores the perspective of Canadians living in Canada's four western provinces on such issues as bilingualism and multiculturalism, free trade, populist currents of thought, separatism in Quebec, and separatism in the West. While this book is informed by an historical understanding of Western difference, its focus is on contemporary developments ranging from the popularity of the Reform Party to the influence of social and cultural movements such as feminism and environmentalism.
