Erosentrisme
Erosentrisme (disebut juga Barat-sentrisme atau Western-centrism)[1] adalah pandangan dunia yang condong terhadap peradaban Barat. Cakupan istilah ini bervariasi mulai dari seluruh dunia Barat, Eropa saja, atau bahkan Eropa Barat era Perang Dingin. Bila dikaitkan dengan sejarah, istilah ini menandakan sikap apologetik terhadap kolonialisme Eropa dan bentuk-bentuk imperialisme lain.[2]
Istilah Erosentrisme sendiri sudah ada sejak akhir 1970-an dan mulai populer pada 1990-an, khususnya bila berkaitan dengan dekolonisasi dan bantuan pembangunan serta bantuan kemanusiaan dari negara-negara industri (Dunia Pertama) ke negara-negara berkembang (Dunia Ketiga).
