Stable regimes sustain strong flexible repertoires shaped jointly by culture and structure

Evidence

My most general arguments concerning repertoires run like this: in routinely operating regimes with relatively stable governments, strong, flexible repertoires prevail. Daily social life, existing social relations, shared memories, and the logistics of social settings—whether, for example, women gather daily in a town’s central market—shape the forms of contention. In that sense, they are simultaneously deeply cultural and deeply structural; they certainly rest on shared understandings and their representations in symbols and practices (that is, on culture), but they also respond to the organization of their social settings. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 273
