The integration of NGOs in diplomacy has increased the field for many players,
many NGOs will respond to local and global dynamics in a way that is distinct from local social actors and community based organizations, employing different strategies.
According to the US Deputy Secretary of State, Strobe Talbott, "[I]n Bosnia, nine agencies and departments of the US government are co-operating with more than a dozen other governments, seven international organisations and thirteen major NGOs...to implement the Dayton Accords."
"multilevel involvement of NGOs (non-governmental organisations) in
every aspect of international negotiations has revitalised many debates with new approaches and new options, but also stifled the ability of traditional sovereign actors to operate unimpeded in their own system. In almost every instance, the state must "share the stage with sovereignty-free actors", as Lewis Rasmussen negatively defines them"
