Easternization: Asia's Rise and America's Decline from Obama to Trump and Beyond (2016) is a book by Financial Times columnist Gideon Rachman. Rachman argues that rising Asian economic and military power is ending centuries of Western dominance. He tracks China, India and Japan alongside U.S. policy under Obama and Trump, asking how Atlantic democracies should adapt to a world no longer centered on Europe and America.

- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is Gideon Rachman's "Easternization." From the Financial Times's always intelligent foreign affairs columnist comes this superb survey of global affairs that describes the great eastward shift of world power and politics. Rachman's book is a much-needed reminder that the world has already become multi- polar, with countries like China, Russia and India exerting power and influence over their neighbors.”
