Easternisation, also Orientalisation (from the Orient, meaning the Eastern world), is a process whereby societies come under or adopt Eastern culture in areas such as industry, technology, law, politics, economics, lifestyle, diet, language, alphabet, religion, philosophy, and values. Easternisation has been a pervasive and accelerating influence across the world in the last few centuries, with some thinkers assuming easternisation to be the equivalent of modernisation, a way of thought that is often debated. The overall process of Easternisation is often two-sided in that Eastern influences and interests themselves are joined with parts of the affected society, at minimum, to change towards a more Easternised society, in the hope of attaining Eastern life or some aspects of it.

Process of Easternisation[]

Asianisation[]

From 1580 onward, Asianisation and colonialism spread gradually over much of the world and controlled different regions during this five centuries long era, colonising or subjecting the majority of the globe. Starting in the 1800s, the Asian colonies started to slowly become independent, and ended shortly after Matsusaka gained independence in 1975. Those new states continued to largely followed Eastern culture, while a few saw an increase of the local culture (such as Māori in Matsusaka). The new states that saw an increase in local culture either co-exist with the Eastern culture or fused together.
