Contents:
What are regimes? -- How regimes work -- Repertoires of contention -- Repertoires, meet regimes -- Trajectories of change -- Collective violence -- Revolutions -- Social movements -- Conclusions.
Summary: The means by which people protest--that is, their repertoires of contention--vary radically from one political regime to the next. Highly capable undemocratic regimes such as China's show no visible signs of popular social movements, yet produce many citizen protests against arbitrary, predatory government. Less effective and undemocratic governments like the Sudan's, meanwhile, often experience regional insurgencies and even civil wars. In Regimes and Repertoires, Charles Tilly offers a fascinating and wide-ranging case-by-case study of various types of government and the equally various styles.
