《全球时代:欧洲1950-2017》是伊恩·凯尔肖所著关于欧洲历史的书籍。1950年,欧洲正在从历史上最惨痛的战争中苏醒,欧洲不再处于战争状态;但是,一场似乎遥不可及的核战争威胁到整个欧洲作为文明的生存基础。于此期间、诞生于战后“婴儿潮”的孩子们,他们将目睹父母辈无法想象的变化。他们也将经历一种超越了早期和平时期所知的政治、经济、社会和文化加速变革。医疗进步、社会福利和支持系统、物质进步佐以战后经济繁荣与新世纪的乐观氛围,人们的态度和心态也发生了巨大变化。种族主义、死刑、堕胎再一次被放上“价值观”秤台重新称量。1950年后的欧洲,“转型”正在发生——这可谓“全球化”进程中的一部分,如同主线贯穿这个由伊恩•克尔肖讲述的1950年至2017年欧洲历史,然而这并非一个成功故事。全球化远非仅仅是朝着更好的物质供应的积极轨迹。它有明显的阴暗面。这本书探讨了从一个时代的不安全感到另一个时代的起伏不定,从核战争威胁到多层次和普遍的现代不安全感。它试图解释: 1950年至今欧洲复杂、多方面的变化模式。 时代性的转折点——1973年、1989年、2001年、2008年——标志着这一路的变革。 进步、发展和改善与挫折、失望和有时的幻灭并存。

The final chapter in the Penguin History of Europe series from the acclaimed scholar and author of To Hell and Back
After the overwhelming horrors of the first half of the twentieth century, described by Ian Kershaw in his previous book as being 'to Hell and back,' the years from 1950 to 2017 brought peace and relative prosperity to most of Europe. Enormous economic improvements transformed the continent. The catastrophic era of the world wars receded into an ever more distant past, though its long shadow continued to shape mentalities.
Yet Europe was now a divided continent, living under the nuclear threat in a period intermittently fraught with anxiety. There were, by most definitions, striking successes: the Soviet bloc melted away, dictatorships vanished, and Germany was successfully reunited. But accelerating globalization brought new fragilities. The interlocking crises after 2008 were the clearest warnings to Europeans that there was no guarantee of peace and stability, and, even today, the continent threatens further fracturing.
In this remarkable book, Ian Kershaw has created a grand panorama of the world we live in and where it came from. Drawing on examples from all across Europe, The Global Age is an endlessly fascinating portrait of the recent past and present, and a cautious look into our future.
