Up to this point, there, historical character of the higher education reform, were few empirical studies of reasons for policy change regarding it and few researches linked with the field of policy science. Since the 1990s, historical institutionalism has gradually established its academic status and deeply influenced the research of public policy and lately it has even begun to delve into the institutional phenomena of the field of education, becoming a vital tool in institution analysis.. To date, only few studies have been made in the domain of educational policy research in Taiwan, despite the growing awareness of the importance of this issue. 　　The purpose of current research is to review the implementation of the policy of higher education evaluation in Taiwan and to examine the relevant issues involved. Current research has shown the importance of three features in the process of policy making. The first feather is the interaction between internal and external factors. The second one is the influence of punctuated equilibrium and critical junctures, and the third one is the asymmetry of power. In addition, it is not only hoped that readers will develop a different viewpoint about the policy of higher education evaluation in light of historical institutionalism with critical perspectives but we provide some suggestions for further research at the end of this study as well.
