Social work as a profession in Taiwan is very young. Its beginnings are to be found within the diffusion of American social work and international community development movement in the 1960s. Since the 1980s the rapid development of social welfare in Taiwan has coexisted with development of social work academia in the same political and economic context. Undoubtedly, the latter interplays with the former. Social work originated from Western society, and generally speaking, tendency of social welfare and academic foci in the West dominates other countries' study subjects and development of social welfare. This study is concerned on how social, economic, and political environment work upon the traces of social work academia in Taiwan. We intend to figure this out through analyzing keywords of disquisitions in five important academic journals: Social Policy & Social Work, NTU Social Work Review, Taiwanese Social Work (once named Journal of Social Work until 2002), Soochow Journal of Social Work, Taiwanese Journal of Social Welfare, and Community Development Journal, which is generally viewed as a representation of social work practice in Taiwan. We use content analysis and historical research as methods in the study, and then discuss these keywords' correlation with the contemporary settings.
