What do mean by decolonization? If you mean the end of colonization then yes, if you mean the reversal of it's effects, maybe not.
If it weren't for the European wars in the first half of the twentieth century then it's possible that the Empires wouldn't have collapsed. Now the natives people aren't going to accept being second class citizens when their not under threat of death or too unaware to do anything, but they might accept the europeans as long as the benefits outwiegh the costs.
At no point did benefits come near outweighing costs for the great majority.
So what if a new 'teacher' form of coloniaism developed, where the empires tried to improve their holdings and educate the population. Unlikely maybe, but humour me, if the empires were being industrialised, the populace educated and infrastructure build might a Commonwealth like structure be tolerated with the European 'sponsers'.

Thing is, why would Europe be willing to finance the means for its colonies to become independent?
