> 西洋は **どうなってる** ？

Is どうなってる itself a phrase meaning 'how is it?' or a combination of several
meanings? Such as どう, なる and ている.

Thanks!

Breakdown of どうなってる
It is a single phrase, consisting of the three words you found. But it's still
a whole phrase with many different ways to make use of.

Here are some examples.  
You meet a friend and he acts totally weird. Then you would think:

> いったいどうなって(る)んだ、こいつは？

Or you think of your sister, who has moved to Canada and you didn't hear from
her for quite some time. You start worrying.

> XX(name)はどうなってるのかな〜
