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. 606 $aBureaucracy$zChina$xHistory 606 $aBureaucracy$zVietnam$xHistory 606 $aBureaucracy$zKorea$xHistory 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government 607 $aVietnam$xPolitics and government 607 $aKorea$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBureaucracy$xHistory. 615 0$aBureaucracy$xHistory. 615 0$aBureaucracy$xHistory. 676 $a320.951 686 $aNT 7700$2rvk 700 $aWoodside$b Alexander$0681467 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454682603321 996 $aLost modernities$92353313 997 $aUNINA
