ABSTRACT This article seeks to understand policy change in the context of Singapore’s higher education system. It does so by applying Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Approach to two cases of policy entrepreneurship. In doing so, this article finds that while the efforts of the policy entrepreneur in one case had given rise to substantial policy change, the policy entrepreneur in the second case was not able to generate policy change due to an impartial coupling of streams. In highlighting impartial coupling, this article seeks to understand how policy change may sometimes not occur, despite the efforts of a policy entrepreneur.

性别，排名和政策变化：新加坡高等教育系统中的政策企业家精神

摘要本文旨在了解新加坡高等教育体系中的政策变化。它通过将金登的“多流方法”应用于两种政策创业案例来做到这一点。通过这样做，本文发现，尽管在一种情况下政策企业家的努力引起了实质性的政策变更，但在第二种情况下，政策企业家由于流的公正耦合而无法产生政策变更。在强调公正的耦合时，本文旨在了解尽管有政策企业家的努力，有时还是不会发生政策变化。
