According to Tilly, what does NOT influence the likelihood of a group taking collective action?

The likelihood of a group taking collective action, as conceptualized by Charles Tilly, is strongly influenced by several factors. Among these, the experience of engaging in similar types of action in the past does not have a direct bearing in the same way as other factors might.

Tilly emphasized that factors such as external stakeholder pressure, available resources, and the level of cohesion within a group are fundamental in determining whether collective action is likely to occur.

For instance, external pressure can mobilize support or create urgency around an issue, resources enable the organization and execution of actions, and cohesion among group members fosters unity and commitment to a common goal. In contrast, while past experiences can inform a group's capabilities or tactics, they do not necessarily determine the likelihood of collective action in the same way that current pressures, resources, or cohesiveness do. Thus, a group's previous experiences could vary in relevance depending on the present context and challenges faced, making it less central to the immediate possibility of collective action.
