High-capacity authoritarian regimes confine claim-making to state limits or surveilled niches
Evidence
The upper-left corner (high capacity, low democracy) includes regimes in which any public, collective claim-making occurs either within stringent limits imposed by the government or in niches that have somehow escaped governmental surveillance and control. The dispatches from Morocco make clear that the government leaves little room for public dissent. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 427
