ABSTRACT:
This article provides evidence of how decentralization and school autonomy policies were adopted and adapted in Argentina during the 1990s. It also addresses the consequences of their implementation at the provincial and school levels. Applying a neo-institutional framework, the study analyzes the role that organizational factors play in the implementation of school autonomy reform across diverse socio-political environments in the province of Buenos Aires.
