Electronic colonialism or digital colonialism, sometimes abbreviated to eColonialism, was conceived by Herbert Shiller as documented in his 1976 text Communication and Cultural Domination. In this work, Shiller postulated the advent of a kind of technological colonialism, a system that subjugates Third World and impoverished nations to the will of world powers such as the United States, Japan, and Germany, given the necessary "importation of communication equipment and foreign-produced software". The theory delineates the economical, political, and psychological impact of the mass-media messaging influx, which is unconsciously absorbed through seemingly harmless forms of entertainment. Viewers watching The Office, e.g., vicariously assimilate elements of Western culture and, often unknowingly, accept the imposition of American ideology: alternative lifestyles, cultures, languages, Vernaculars, trends, Fads, political stances, ethnicalities.

Settler colonialism is a form of colonialism that seeks to replace the original population of the colonized territory with a new society of settlers. As with all forms of colonialism, it is based on exogenous domination, typically organized or supported by an imperial authority. Settler colonialism is enacted by a variety of means ranging from violent depopulation of the previous inhabitants to more subtle, legal means such as assimilation or recognition of indigenous identity within a colonial framework. Settler colonialism contrasts with exploitation colonialism, which entails a national economic policy of conquering a country to exploit its population as cheap or free labor and its natural resources as raw material. In this way, settler colonialism lasts indefinitely, except in the rare event of complete evacuation or settler decolonization.
