Abstract	This report outlines the history of the centralization-decentralization dilemma in the goverance of organizations, discusses two types of centralization-decentralization continua, and suggests further research. The first type of continuum discussed -- the traditional American -- refers to decisionmaking in the areas of public debate and partisan politics, involving citizen representation in policymaking through the medium of elections for legislatures, boards, and officials. The second continuum type -- the Australian model -- refers to the process of decisionmaking by administrative officers to whom responsibility is delegated by a school system. The author discusses the many international variations of these two types and then presents arguments for the preservation of the American model. (Author/JF)
