Abstract: Global governance initiatives have emerged in response to the times, aiming to explore pathways towards improved governance through extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits. However, the traditional pattern of global governance, characterized by a strong North and a weak South, has long marginalized the Global South as a peripheral participant. The ongoing rise of the Global South is gradually overturning this conventional perception. This paper examines the evolving structure of the international system, with a focus on the interaction between the Global South and global governance and its transformative effects. Building on an extension and empirical testing of the traditional impact-response paradigm, it seeks to clarify how impacts and responses are transmitted through specific mechanisms to reshape global governance. We argue that, alongside the rise of both the Global South and global governance, the two sides mutually construct and communicate their perceptions through a series of impact-response interactions, reshaping the role of the Global South within the global governance system, from that of a passive recipient to an active structural shaper. Through institutionbuilding mechanisms, the Global South advances from marginal embedding to agendasetting and rulemaking. Through normshaping mechanisms, its core value commitments are progressively integrated into the discourse of global governance, challenging the Northerndominated, singular structure of legitimacy. Ultimately, this drives a structural transformation of global governance: from unipolar hegemony to multipolar consultation, and from passive adaptation to proactive remaking.

摘要: 全球治理倡议应时而生,旨在以共商共建共享探寻治理完善之道。然而,传统的全球治理北强南弱,将“全球南方”视为边缘参与者。“全球南方”的方兴未艾正在逐渐颠覆这一传统观念。本文审视了国际体系不断演变的动态过程,着重探讨“全球南方”与全球治理的互动及其变革性影响。研究基于传统冲击—回应模式的拓展与实证,旨在拨开冲击与回应如何通过机制传导作用于全球治理之迷雾。本文认为,随着“全球南方”与全球治理的兴起,双方在一系列冲击—回应中互构观念,“全球南方”在全球治理体系中的角色认知由被动接受者转变为结构塑造者。“全球南方”通过制度建设机制,实现从边缘嵌入到议题设定与规则制定的跃迁;通过规范塑造机制,其核心价值观念亦逐步嵌入全球治理话语体系,挑战北方主导下的单一正当性结构,最终推动全球治理从单极霸权向多极协商、从被动适应向主动重塑的结构转型。
