| Abstract | By analyzing the process of decentralization of education in Argentina, this paper complements the existing literature on decentralization and federalism in two ways: (1) it studies the impact of federal institutions on the origins and evolution of decentralization; and (2) it analyzes a case of decentralization of education that, in a way not planned or desired by the national executive who pushed for the reform, led to the strengthening of the bargaining power of provincial executives in the design of educational reforms that followed the transfer of schools. Federalism helped to legitimize the transfer of schools and teachers, even though the resources to meet the new responsibilities were not transferred. Federalism also imprinted particular features on the bargaining process over the decentralization of education. On the one hand, governors had a more important role than the national legislature in negotiations over the transfer of schools, while on the other hand, federal institutions such as the Federal Council of Education fostered coordination and learning among provincial ministers and governors, putting them in a better position vis-a-vis the central government for the next rounds of negotiations on educational issues. The paper analyzed primary and secondary sources of data and in-depth interviews with national and subnational academics, public officials, and politicians. (Contains 45 references and 18 notes.)
