G20 in the positioning of Mexico, Argentina and Brazil at the turn of the 2020s. Assessments, expectations, contradictions

Abstract

The article examines the approaches to G20 of its Latin American members - Mexico, Argentina and Brazil - in the early 2020s. The relevance of the topic is due to discussions about the significance and functionality of the G20 in the context of growing international geopolitical tensions and undermining of the neoliberal globalization, as well as the transition of the presidency in G20 to Brazil in 2024. The study is based on a combination of textual analysis and historical methods, which allows to identify the key features of the political projecting of the presence in G20 of three nations under the administrations of Andr?s Manuel L?pez Obrador, Alberto Fern?ndez, Luiz In?cio “Lula” da Silva, both individually and from the perspective of a possible consolidated Latin American view. The authors conclude that although the governments of Mexico, Argentina and Brazil addressed in the Group some common topics, mainly related to the idea of overcoming of the global inequality, their attitude towards the potential of G20 for changing the global rules of the game in the interests of developing countries differs, that hinders solidary positioning in G20.
