Regime and repertoire correspond without being tautological

Evidence

We have witnessed broad correspondence between regimes and repertoires. We have regularly noticed differences in the prevailing forms of collective claims among low-capacity, nondemocratic; high-capacity, nondemocratic; low-capacity, democratic; and high-capacity, democratic regimes. As a result, those differences have started to look natural, even inevitable. Yet the correspondence goes beyond mere tautology: we can establish a regime’s degree of democracy and check the capacity of its government without knowing the extensiveness of its collective violence or the frequency of its social movements. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1305

Categorization

• QUESTION: The claim that the correspondence is empirically checkable independently invites the reader’s own test: does regime capacity-democracy position predict politicization forms without circular measures?
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1305
• XREF: connects to: No coherent theory links regime type to forms of contention — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 42; War-of-attrition strategic logics only operate within regime-set limits and repertoires — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 822; Stable regimes sustain strong flexible repertoires shaped jointly by culture and structure — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 273 (+7 more)
