We will try to review different methods based on electroweak interactions which can be used to extract polarized parton distributions. Our basic knowledge on parton distributions, coming from deep inelastic scattering in leptoproduction, will be reexamined and we will present a simple construction for unpolarized and polarized structure functions in terms of Fermi‐Dirac distributions. We will also emphasize the importance of longitudinally and transversely polarized proton‐proton and proton‐neutron collisions at high energies for improving the determination of polarized quark distributions, in particular by means of gauge bosons and lepton‐pair production.
