B. Research Setting
This research was conducted in Yogyakarta through the library study. The researcher started to collect the data in the period of September 2014. Regarding
digesting the patterns of post-noun modification, the data were grouped and analyzed during the period of October 2014 to November 2014.
C. Research Subjects
In conducting this research, the researcher analyzed three speech transcripts of Marty Natalegawa. The transcripts were taken from the official
website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Republic of Indonesia. Of those transcripts, the researcher only collected the noun phrases with post-noun modification.
Literally, those transcripts had similar topics discussing the sustainable development of promoting global democracy country and economic stability of
2015. That topic was chosen as the consideration of the new joint program of ASEAN namely ASEAN Economic Community AEC which officially
announces and begins in December 2015. Therefore, in order to digest the topic of those three transcripts, the summary of each transcript was described below.
The first transcript was delivered at the general debate of the 66
th
session of the United Nations general assembly on 26 September, 2011 in New York. In
his speech, Marty Natalegawa discussed the transforming challenges into opportunities. Literally, each country had similar global challenges in solving the
political and military tensions and conflicts, financial and economic crisis, intolerance and discrimination, and environmental threats and natural disasters of
42 energy and food security. Through this speech, there were two basic points
highlighted. The first point was all countries need to strengthen multilateralism to address global challenges. The multilateralism opened the opportunities to
promote a new kind of international relations and contribute in promoting solutions. That system led the decision-making processes more effective, efficient,
transparent, and inclusive. Then, the second point was cooperation and partnership between the United Nations and regional organizations which is the
key in addressing today’s global challenges. Those conditions enabled countries in region to pursue the development path uninterrupted by wars and conflicts.
Indonesia has described this condition as a dynamic equilibrium. A dynamic equilibrium is an international relations in which emphasizes on common security,
prosperity, and stability. The second transcript was delivered at the general debate of the 68
th
session of the United Nations general assembly on 27 September, 2013 in New York. The theme topic was “Post-2015 development agenda: setting the stage”.
He emphasized one of the final push toward the fulfillment of 2015 Millennium Development Goals that was regarding political and diplomatic solutions. The
global development agenda was held to end extreme poverty and ensure sustainable growth with equity in which must be anchored by a new global
partnership. This situation indicated that Indonesia, comported with its partners in ASEAN, was steadily developing a regional architecture conducive for the
peaceful promotion of human rights and democracy as it called the ASEAN Political-Security Community which achieves by 2015. Beyond Southeast Asia,
43 Indonesia was pursuing the same positive and constructive approach through Bali
Democracy Forum. In this case, Indonesia was recognized as the special responsibility as host of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Global
Forum in 2014 aimed to promote “unity in diversity”. The third transcript was delivered at an Indonesia perspective on the Indo-
Pacific at the conference of Indonesia on 16 May, 2013 in Washington DC. In this speech, he emphasized on the “peace-dividend” of Indo-Pacific. In this regard,
there are three challenges highlighted. The first challenge was related to “trust- deficit”. It built mutual trust and confidence among Indo-Pacific country; and to
substitute the vicious cycle of tensions with a virtuous cycle trust and confidence- building. The second challenge was regarding unresolved territorial claims. Each
Indo-Pacific country must require a commitment from parties to a territorial dispute to respect certain code of behavior or conduct in the affected area.
Meanwhile, the last challenge was related to managing the impact of change. In his point of view, he believed that “a pacific” Indo-Pacific region requires a new
paradigm that lead to a fresh perspective in which promotes a “dynamic equilibrium”. A dynamic equilibrium was thus marked by an absence of
preponderant power which is not through the rigidity, rivalry, and common tensions of the pursuit of a balance of power model.
