Regime quadrants describe agent-citizen relations, not just citizen repertoires

Evidence

We should guard against an illusion easily brought on by the four categories of regimes. The four quadrants do not simply serve as pens in which different sorts of citizens carry on different sorts of claim-making. They also identify different relations between governmental agents and citizens. In high-capacity regimes, governmental agents participate more actively in all sorts of contention than do the governmental agents of lowcapacity regimes. High-capacity agents participate by initiating claims, by receiving claims, by adjudicating claims, and by monitoring claims between nongovernmental parties. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 429

Categorization

• QUESTION: This is the connective tissue for the reader’s asymmetry argument: if high-capacity regimes drawn state agents INTO every contention, then ‘institutional absorption’ of subordinate claims is matched by state-enabled absorption/legitimation of dominant-group claims backed by agents who adjudicate and monitor. Interesting — Tilly is symmetric here again.
