Regime capacity, not just state consolidation, shapes revolutionary coalition frequency and type.
Evidence
As the recent history just canvassed suggests, however, changes in the prevalent forms of revolutionary coalitions followed contrasting rhythms in different regions. Regions of relatively early state consolidation included the Low Countries, France, and the British Isles. Those regions saw early peaks of communal, patron-client, and dynastic revolutionary coalitions in reaction to that very consolidation. But once fairly high-capacity governments took control of the same regions, revolutionary coalitions formed less frequently and shifted toward the national and class coalition types. β Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1043
Categorization
- XREF: This bears directly on the readerβs core hypothesis: institutional absorption (high-capacity governments) does not eliminate revolutionary coalitions but shifts them toward national and class forms β exactly the asymmetry-channelling question the reader is testing against Tillyβs framework. β connects to: High regime capacity and democracy suppress revolutionary situations by raising organizing costs. β Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 979; Revolutionary situations concentrate in low-capacity regimes while revolutionary outcomes remain rare everywhere β Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 985; Revolutionary coalitions vary along territorial-interest and direct-indirect connection axes β Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 999 (+9 more)
