Regime change drives repertoire change more than popular consciousness does

Evidence

More generally, comparisons among the six European regions reinforce the main point of my argument: the changing structure of regimes largely determined the frequency and character of revolutionary situations. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1045 (#qualifies, via linked claim)

The contemporary application is direct. Reform that focuses on institutional restructuring — adding accountability mechanisms, complaint procedures, career-incentive structures that reward restraint, professional development that supports patient pedagogy — operationally reduces corporal practice even when the underlying cultural-ideological framework remains substantially the same. The Roman army’s case shows this empirically. The Pachomian monastery’s case shows this empirically. The Han educational apparatus shows this empirically. Cultural change can follow institutional change rather than having to precede it. This is one of the season’s most operationally usable findings. — , The Rod and the Child, 2237 (#expands, via linked claim)
