Europeanization

/jʊˌrɑpiənəˈzeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The process of adopting or integrating European cultural, political, economic, or social characteristics, either voluntarily or through influence.

Etymology

From 'Europeanize' (to make European) + '-tion' (process noun); became common in 20th-century discourse describing how non-European societies adopted European practices.

Kelly Says

Europeanization was often a euphemism for imperialism—when colonial powers spoke of 'civilizing' or 'Europeanizing' colonized regions, they meant erasing indigenous cultures and replacing them with European systems, a legacy that shaped every post-colonial conflict today.
