Regime-specific histories shape the repertoires available to social movements.
Evidence
The shaping of social movements by regimes operates both across regimes and within regimes. Across regimes, previous histories lay down different webs of issues, performances, symbols, and political alignments that significantly affect the conduct of social movements. As we have seen, some contemporary Indian social movements proceed with an array of chariots, religious symbols, and rituals that seem exotic to Western eyes. With equal clarity, Evian’s Intergalactic Village, Greens, and ATTAC mark the 2003 mobilization as belonging to the twenty-first-century Western European world of social movements. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1172
