| Summary: | The 9/11 event that happened to teh United States created strong reaction
from the U.S. The U.S. made a war statement that was stated by Bush in his
speech on Spetember 20, 2001 �Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it
does not end There�. This statement fastly becomes the discourse for the world
to move the countries and international organization to make institutions and rules
for supporting War on Terror stated by the U.S. By using a discourse about War
on Terror, the U.S. makes and constructs the world, and also gives the new
identity, behaviors, and interest to the actors in the international relations and
international communities. In this level, it can be said that the discourse about
War on Terror has been internationalized
Discourse about War on Terror forces every country to make some norms
and institutions to support War on Terror. These norms regulate the pattern of
attitude of the country and also regulate and shape the pattern of attitude of the
country in making relations with other countries in international communities.
The writer calls this fact the process of internalization. By the cocept of Norm Life
Cycle, the writer shows the process how the discourse about War On Terror
becomes an international norm and it is internalized by many countries outside the
U.S. as the norm enterpreneur. Through persuasion and framing, the U.S. and
Bush convince all countries to institutionalized the discourse about War On
Terror in the form of constitution or agreement and in making some institutions.
The institutionalization the discourse on War On Terror makes the discourse
about War On Terror as a norm. Indonesia is the example that is used by the
writer in this writing to show the process of internalization of the discourse about
War On Terror.
