The assumption of the Group of 20 (G20) rotating presidency in December 2017 has created a meaningful window of opportunity for Argentina in order to wield its influence on the international agenda and gain reputation within the global arena. Besides, the Argentinean G20 presidency has become a significant chance to project a Southern and/or developing perspective within this global forum established to debate and address the most pressing economic and political international challenges. This article aims to analyze the agenda and challenges of the Argentinean G20 presidency. In so doing, it attempts to shed light on the following questions: Which mechanisms or ways will deploy the Argentine Republic in order to exert its influence on the Group? Will Argentina represent the voice of Latin American counties and the emerging ones or will it have an acquiescent behavior towards the central powers? Will the Argentinean presidency be able to ease the Group's internal tensions? Finally, might the Argentinean presidency overcome the critics regarding the G20's legitimacy?Palabras Clave
