Abstract: The “southernization of northern knowledge” is both an international political reality and a typical countermodernity intellectual movement, challenging the epistemic and hegemonic dominance of the Global North from an epistemological perspective. At the de facto level, this phenomenon reveals the tension between cognitive justice and social justice. The Global Norths conception of cognitive justice is, in essence, a form of cognitive injustice, which in turn leads to the failure to fully realize social justice within both the Global North and the Global South. At the de jure level, the ideal form of “southernization of northern knowledge” lies in the coupling of cognitive and social justice, facilitated by the rise of the “broad Global South”—a coalition encompassing marginalized groups in both the Global South and the Global North. Through informal international law as a primary medium, the force in the South enhances and integrates the two dimensions of justice, thereby reshaping the global governance architecture. By fostering North-South collaboration, integrating international legal norms, and strengthening the dissemination of knowledge in the South, the global knowledge system can evolve toward diversity and inclusivity, making a more equitable, rational, and sustainable global order possible.

Key words: southernization of northern knowledge, cognitive justice, social justice, broad Global South, global governance

摘要： “北方知识南方化”既是一种国际政治事实，也是一种典型的“反现代性”思潮，其从知识论层面对全球北方的知识与权力霸权进行质疑。在实然层面，“北方知识南方化”体现出认知正义与社会正义之间的张力。全球北方所抱持的认知正义观念在实质上是一种“认知非正义”，而这又导致全球北方与全球南方阵营内的社会正义均无法得到充分实现。在应然层面，“北方知识南方化”的理想样态是认知正义与社会正义的耦合，而国际社会中“广义南方”群体的兴起为此提供契机。以非成文国际法为主要媒介，借助由全球南方与全球北方弱劣势群体共同构成的“南方力量”“广义南方”得以完善并统合两种正义维度，进而重构全球治理格局。通过构筑南北合力、融贯国际法秩序和加强南方知识传播，全球知识体系走向多样性与包容性，一种更加公正、合理、可持续的全球秩序亦成为可能。
