Kingdon's Multiple Streams, a framework to analyze agenda-setting process is widely considered as a 'universal' theoretical framework because of its flexibility to be applied. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the validity of this 'universal' term.By using the case of the establishment of Law No.13 of 2012 concerning the Privilege of Yogyakarta Special Region, this research aims to apply and examine the Kingdon'sframework. The research has been done by using the qualitative method. Interviewing key persons and interpreting written documents are main techniques in data collection process. As the result, this framework remains applicable in the Yogyakarta case. There are 3 factors that brought Yogyakarta issues into the central government's agenda encompass problem, policy, and politics. Politics is the most dominant factor indicated byYogyakartans strong political movement and Sultanate of Yogyakarta's political approach. In addition, Sultanate of Yogyakarta canalso bediscussed as a policy entrepreneur. As the conclusion, this research has a significant contribution to Kingdon's multiple streams framework which is still able to explain social phenomena in policy making studies although there are some concerns that need to be explored further, particularly regarding the role of media and policy entrepreneur.
