Under the "de-administration" historical background, handling the relationship between government and universities become essential. Policy is the interactive mediation, studying on policy changing helps to clear where it came from and where to go, contribute to walk out of normative study, open up a new research approach from policy sciences perspective.To find what has changed is one part of studying on Policy changing, the more important thing is why it changed, how it changed, how well it worked, where it will go. In other words, the paper focuses on policy changing, it is more like studying in the policy changing. Policy changing is the object, the main line, while to find the driving force behind, or the logic of order generating is the research objectives, the hidden line.Using Policy networks, bottom perspective, action position, emic perspective, the paper discussed how the collective action of higher vocational educational groups promotes policy changed and order evolution. Found that the policy changing of higher vocational eductional systme has the character of circulation. The collective action resulted from identity crisis of the existing policy, identity recognition of higher vocational educational groups, logic of Order generating (intelligent design or evolution). What’s more, it is the politics of recognition, Contentious Politics, that higher vocational educational groups seeking recognition from the regular higher education and decision-making level by dialogue and consultation. Meanwhile, the paper pointed out collective action is possible is the result of comprehensive action, such as disorders of existing policies, resentful emotional contagion Under the sense of relative deprivation, political opportunity structure appeared, the ability of resource mobilization enhanced, meaning construction when group identification and shared beliefs formed, etc.Also analysed the realistic circumstances of network governance.The merits is that, policy instrument applied became multiply, the participation awareness, ability and effect of unofficial agency has Significantly improved, the policy process openness has advanced, cooperative capability of policy has improved. The defects is that, subject of policy network is short of governance capacity, governance structure is very one-dimensional type(authority leading type), power structure imbalance gave rise to policy regulatory capture by powerful interest groups, network management mode is single, deficiency of rules all affects the network governance effect. And give some proposals to the way forward.Policy failure in the policy changing reflected that, conceit of regulation came from looking upon rational order from visual aesthetics, and misunderstanding of Higher vocational education’s identity, that is the single idea of organizational identity, using type deny level, using static state negate dynamic state. To get out of the regulation failure, reflection on the logic of order generating behind policy changing is needed. And move towards cooperative order from spontaneous order and planning order, put knowledge rationality, power structure, interest game, idea, historical legacies and so on into consideration, rectify the defect of goal rationality by procedural rationality.
