Regime and repertoire organization shapes which revolutionary shifts occur.

Evidence

For all the revolutionary richness of the last few decades, concentrating heavily on the recent past risks masking how much the conditions, forms, and processes of revolution vary and change. Let us step back for a longer comparative-historical look. The history of European revolutions over the last half-millennium underscores three points of great importance for the study of regimes and repertoires: (1) that close concentration on classbased revolutions from below introduces deep distortion into our perception of forcible shifts in control over governments; (2) that prevailing forms of those shifts vary and change historically; and (3) that variation and change in the organization of regimes and the character of contentious repertoires shapes what kinds of shifts actually occur. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 995
