“…I agree with Kingdon, who noted that the study and practice of education policy are always contested terrain (Lagemann, 1997), especially in a postcolonial era (Rizvi, Lingard, & Lavia, 2006). Policy is inherently complex, and Kingdon's framework, based on a post-positivist epistemology, also allows the analyst to interpret deeper meanings through the analysis of different streams (Dudley, Parsons, Radaelli, & Sabatier, 2000).…”

The purpose of this paper is to critically analyse the policymaking process of the Moral and National Education (MNE) curriculum in Hong Kong by employing Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework. The aim of the paper is threefold. First, it will describe the policy process of the national education curriculum policy as a foundation for the analysis. Second, the author will critically evaluate and apply Kingdon's MSF to examine the policymaking process, both to analyse how such policy came to be constructed as a problem and to consider the proposed policy solutions, as well as the surrounding political forces. Third, the analysis will identify the possible coupling of these lines of thought and the notions of -policy entrepreneurs‖ and -policy windows.‖ The MNE policy provided a good example of how a policy problem is constructed in various policy contexts, as well as how the solution is matched to the problem. Although the policy outcome is not entirely predictable, Kingdon's framework is excellent for explaining the likely outcomes. This paper contributes to the wider policy literature by bridging the East-West gap in policy analysis. It provides a better understanding of the policymaking process in Asian countries, and it should also prove useful to both education policy scholars and policymakers. Finally it suggests further research is needed on how social media affects each of Kingdon's streams in Hong Kong.

“…In addition, this framework allows an analyst to interpret Applying Kingdom's Multiple Streams Framework in the Establishment of Law No. 13 of 2012 Concerning the Privilege of Yogyakarta Special Region deeper meanings through analysis that is conducted in each stream (Dudley, Parsons, Radaelli, and Sabatier, 2000). This flexibility is necessary for policy paradigm since researchers are not seeking statistical excellence, but for the best interpretation in each stream (Stout and Steven, 2000).…”

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.

“…1 An expanded discussion of the concepts in this section can be found in Hermans (2005) and in Hermans and Thissen (2009), which also discusses some of the modeling approaches discussed in this chapter. 2 See for instance Ostrom et al (1994), p. 49, the overview book edited by Sabatier (2007), and the related debate on theories of the policy process in the Journal of European Public Policy (Dudley et al 2000). 3 Although the labels differ, these dimensions are identified by many authors and theories.…”
