NGOs can be seen as exercising agency, which refers to their ability to take action on their own behalf and influence the actions of others, including the state. NGOs are not necessarily exercising political will, as this refers to the collective willingness of a society to take action on a particular issue. Hegemony refers to the dominance of one group over others, and local advocacy may be a component of NGO activities but does not capture the full scope of their response to the state.
