Based  on  the  policy  context  of  Su  Hwa  Highway  in  Hualien  County,  thisarticle explores three propositions by applying the Advocacy Coalition Framework.The  first  proposition  is  that  the  involvement  of  academics  and  experts,  based  onpublic opinion, is not beneficial to the achievement of policy goals. Secondly, theappearance  of  policy  brokers  is  not  helpful  to  the  solution  of  public  issues  whendifferent coalitions compete for diverse policy goals. Thirdly, pivotal events do notchange the normative core beliefs of policy elites, whereas their policy belief mightbe  influenced  and  changed.  This  research  indicates  that  the  first  two  propositionsare not sustainable, while the third one is.
