Tilly’s central question links contention to regime type and change

Evidence

Pursuing other ends, however, Finer does not examine relationships— empirical or causal—among regime types, political transitions, and forms of contentious politics. This book concentrates, in contrast, on asking how and why political contention varies from one regime type to another, and how contention interacts with movement from regime to regime. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 109
