contents Historical Trends in Educational Decentralization in the United States and Developing Countries: A Periodization and Comparison in the Post-WWII Context D. Brent Edwards Jr. David E. DeMatthews Educación School United States Neoliberalism Accountability Decentralization In the present work, we fill a gap in the writing on the decentralization of educational governance by periodizing and comparing trends that have fallen under this label in both the United States and developing countries in the post - WWII period (1945 - present). The findings are informed by a review of 127 decentralization - related studies from seven leading, peer - reviewed journals in comparative and international education, in addition to the J ourna l of Education Policy, Journal of Educational Administration, and Harvard Education Review . We combine this review with works that address larger political and economic shifts . One key finding is that the application of community - level decentralization in developing countries has not been as widespread as global rhetoric during the 1990s and 2000s would imply. A second key finding is that there has been a relatively recent shift away from decentralization towards other forms of accountability - based reforms in both the United States and developing countries. 2014 artículo científico 1068-2341 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=275031898021 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2750 Education Policy Analysis Archives/Archivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas application/pdf Arizona State University Education Policy Analysis Archives/Archivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas (Estados Unidos de América) Vol.22
