Editorial Review Product Description In Lost Modernities Alexander Woodside offers a probing revisionist 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 remarkable for their transparent procedures. The quest for merit-based bureaucracy stemmed from the idea that good politics could be established through the "development of people"--the training of people to be politically useful. Centuries before civil service examinations emerged in the Western world, these three Asian countries were basing bureaucratic advancement on examinations in addition to patronage. But the evolution of the mandarinates cannot be accommodated by our usual timetables of what is "modern." The history of China, Vietnam, and Korea suggests that the rationalization processes we think of as modern may occur independently of one another and separate from such landmarks as the growth of capitalism or the industrial revolution. A sophisticated examination of Asian political traditions, both their achievements and the associated risks, this book removes modernity from a standard Eurocentric understanding and offers a unique new perspective on the transnational nature of Asian history and on global historical time. |

A visual diary of the War. The texts are concised, focused and give the reader a clear and broad picture of the war.
Problems with the Maps The most hilarious example is on page 97.Laos had two capital cities: the royal capital of Luang Prabang, where the (purely ceremonial) king lived, and theadministrative capital of Vientiane, where there was an actual government. On this map, Luang Prabang has been moved across the border into NorthVietnam (a very strange place for the royal capital of Laos), whileVientiane has been moved across the other border into Thailand.The samemap also has the town of Vinh, in North Vietnam, shifted westward from itsactual location near the coast; it appears on this map to be closer to theLaotian border than to the sea. Flip one page back to look at the map onpage 95, which shows the Tonkin Gulf Incidents and the U.S. air strikes ofAugust 5, 1964.This map has Vinh in the right place, but Hanoi has beenmislocated; it is shown as being southwest of Haipong (Hanoi is actuallynorthwest of Haiphong).More important, the map shows Hon Gai, one of thetargets of the U.S. air strikes, as being right next to the Chinese border. Hon Gai is actually well to the southwest of the location shown; if it hadbeen close to the Chinese border, Lyndon Johnson would not have approvedthe strike against it in this operation.The location shown for theaircraft carrier Constellation, which launched the planes for the strikeagainst Hon Gai, is also seriously inaccurate. A small inset map on page95 shows the tracks of the two U.S. destroyers Maddox and Turner Joy, onthe night of August 4, 1964, and the tracks of objects that appeared ontheir radar, believed to be torpedo boats attacking them.The track shownfor the supposed torpedo boat designated V2 bears no resemblance to anytrack that shows in the records of the destroyers, and the track shown forV1 does not bear a close resemblance to any track that shows in the recordsof the destroyers. I have not found so many errors in other maps in thisatlas, but I have found more than I liked.The one thing an atlas isabsolutely supposed to do is show things in the correct locations on themaps. ...
