The post-Western era, considered by some to be a post-American era, is a conjectured time period starting around the 21st century or afterward in which the West is no longer dominant, and other civilizations (particularly Asian ones) gain power. In the context of rising Asian powers (sometimes as part of a broader Global East) or a rising Global South, the terms Easternization and Southernization respectively are sometimes applied (analogous to Westernization).
