      abstract = {In Lost Modernities, Alexander Woodside offers an overview  of the bureaucratic politics of preindustrial China,  Vietnam, and Korea. He focuses on the political and  administrative theory of the three mandarinates and their  long experimentation with governments recruited in part  through meritocratic civil service examinations. This book  removes modernity from a standard Eurocentric understanding  and offers a unique new perspective on the transnational  nature of Asian history.},
