Abstract
The breaking of the electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated ``weak
scale,'' may be due to a new strong interaction. Theoretical developments over
the past decade have led to viable models and mechanisms that are consistent
with current experimental data. Many of these schemes feature a privileged role
for the top quark, and third generation, and are natural in the context of
theories of extra space dimensions at the weak scale. We review various models
and their phenomenological implications which will be subject to definitive
tests in future collider runs at the Tevatron, the LHC, and future linear
electron-positron colliders, as well as sensitive studies of rare processes.
