This volume is the last volume in the four-volume "General History of the West" written by the German historian Winkler. Since the end of the Cold War, the world has become neither simpler nor more peaceful. Terrorist attacks, territorial disputes, global financial turmoil, financial and people's livelihood issues, the struggle between nation-state interests and supranational communities, the refugee crisis, and the Ebola epidemic have had a profound impact on all mankind. They have once again challenged what the "West" is and how the "West" will stand. This short period of contemporary history is full of crises and changes. It is not a final conclusion to the entire long history of the West, but an open discussion that faces current world issues head-on. As a responsible intellectual, historian Winkler did not shy away from talking about these issues because of the unforeseeable outcome and insufficient research documents. He admitted that all conclusions on contemporary history are inevitably tentative and subjective, and believed that to escape from real difficulties, international scholars need to be determined to be realistic, otherwise they will not be able to raise illuminating questions and substantive answers. It is this point that allows readers to see once again that "the West" is not a static "conclusion", but a dynamic development "process". It is the product of continuous shaping of ideology and political practice, and it is also a manifestation of continuous mistakes and self-regulation on the way to pursue values ​​such as freedom and democracy. Winkler also firmly believes that the ideological legacy of 1776 and 1789 is still far from exhausted.
