摘要：There is a significant information divide between the countries in the North and
those in the South. This is detrimental to economic growth as information feeds
into knowledge production. The divide is exacerbated by a series of uneven and
unjust flows of information between the North and the South. Two related
patterns of the unjust flow are explored, namely the flow of biological
resources and information and the flow of rare manuscripts and published
materials. I argue that the concept of global justice is an appropriate tool to
comprehend the situation; this is an addition to those offered in Britz and Lor
(2003). Furthermore I discuss the need for increasing intra-South information
flow. This will strengthen the Southern countries as a whole, since the flow
will link the countries together so they have a stronger voice and chances to
learn from one another directly.
