Origins of the contemporary collective-action répertoire in France and Great Britain, Charles Tilly.
Eight examples of various types of conflict from 1682 to 1982 divide into two relatively distinct repertoires of collective action. The first, localized and oriented largely to local powerholders, lasted until the 19th century. The other, more national and autonomous, came to predominate in Great Britain around 1832 and in France around 1848. Compared to the 19th, the 20th century produced few changes in the repertoire ; with respect to organization and action even the « new social movements » occurring since 1968 do not constitute a large innovation. The forms of collective action result from a cumulative historical process.
