Regime surveys center on discontinuous public collective claim-making between distinct political actors

Evidence

The questions that motivate this book concern the interplay between regimes and repertoires. For that purpose, comparisons of revolutions or of strikes might help, but most likely we will need a more general characterization of claim-making and regime change. My own more general surveys of whole regimes have centered on collective making and receiving of claims, especially those linking distinct political actors with each other rather than, say, the members of a constituted group having their own leaders. They single out, furthermore, discontinuous, public, and collective claim-making: occasions on which people break with daily routines to concert their energies in publicly visible demands, complaints, attacks, or expressions of support before returning to their private lives. β€” Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 306
