Citizens' Assemblies are advanced as an institutional solution to tackle some of the challenges facing representative democracies. This debate will focus on the practice of citizens' assemblies in the light of several concrete experiences, particularly in Geneva (local), France (national) and Belgium (systemic). These experiences will be illustrated by the actors who set them up as well as by researchers who have followed the processes.
