Summary:It is not possible to simply define the West geographically or identify it with an organization with concrete borders such as NATO; it is more of an amorphous and dynamic concept which passes through states and societies. Undoubtedly, there is a Western center formed by the traditional polyarchies: Great Britain, Canada, USA, Switzerland, and Scandinavia. The center is surrounded by states which are now considered to be Western (despite their experiments in the past) such as France, Germany, Italy, but also Spain and Portugal.
