Regimes shape claim-making repertoires through control, constitution of claimants, and issue streams

Evidence

Regimes necessarily shape social movements, including the sheer possibility that social movements can occur at all. Regimes shape repertoires in three distinct ways: … 1. By means of controls over claim-making repertoires—not only the broad division among prescribed, tolerated, and forbidden performances, but also the historical development that gives organized workers’ gatherings greater scope in one regime, religious processions greater standing in another, and so on … 2. By constituting both potential claimants and potential objects of claims … 3. By producing streams of issues, events, and governmental actions around which social-movement campaigns rise and fall; we have already seen Geneva’s activists complaining that their French allies were preoccupied with French disputes concerning pensions and public education. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1168

Categorization

• XREF: This is the core regime-shapes-repertoire mechanism the reader wants to extend: note that control is listed first — the prescribed-versus-forbidden axis is where an asymmetry in who gets ‘tolerated’ vs ‘forbidden’ could be probed. — connects to: Democratic regimes channel contentious claims into prescribed institutional forms. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 447; Low-capacity nondemocratic regimes tolerate wide contentious claim-making. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 448; India domesticates the standard social-movement repertoire into parliament-oriented claim-making — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 522 (+9 more)
• QUESTION: The prescribed/tolerated/forbidden trichotomy invites the reader’s asymmetry test: are dominant-group WUNC claims ‘prescribed’ while subordinate-group claims stay merely ‘tolerated’? Tilly does not pursue this.
