Since the beginning of the 21st Century, the World University Ranking has emerged as a universal measure for academic excellence in higher education. Despite a myriad of concerns over the biased weights on productivity---many of which favor hard sciences and English-language scholarship---higher education institutions across the globe have incorporated this ranking system into higher education policies of accreditation, competition for funding, and professorial rank promotion. This dissertation examines the impact of implementing the World University Ranking as a means of assessing the productivity of faculty scholarship in the social sciences in tenure review processes. The research is focused on a seven month single-site field study at a comprehensive university in rural Taiwan. The dissertation adopts an anthropological perspective that examines tenure promotion policies and includes governmental rhetoric and individual experiences in dealing with the administrators. In so doing, this research draws heavily from the world-system analysis of the intellectual relationship between the Western and the Third World, particularly in terms of the three themes of intellectual dependency, the center-periphery, and neocolonialism. As the study illustrates, the university's tenure review policy expressed in an algorithmic scheme intersects with the inherited Chinese gentry legacy; this in turn produces power arenas at various levels that both promote and depress scholarly creations. This dissertation contributes to scholarly efforts aimed at unraveling the impact of world university ranking expressed in the form of disciplinary powers, as experienced by the Taiwanese social scientists who work at the periphery of the world-class university system.
