In the context of the Anthropocene, with special focus on the climate crisis, citizen assemblies, especially climate ones, have been considered as essential formations for deliberative politics at the local level. However, their scope is often framed by institutional designs that either confine their political influence or marginalise their significance at the local level. Within this context, I suggest emphasising the importance of hegemony as a political strategy that allows the amplification of the democratic significance of assemblies across geographical scales while highlighting the antagonistic but also dialectical relation between assemblies and state institutions
