Malasia, Noruega, Singapur y Suiza deberían substituirlos en el seno del Grupo, cuyos líderes se reúnen este lunes y martes en el balneario mexicano de Los Cabos, a orillas del Pacífico.
Alex Brill, un miembro del liberal Instituto Empresarial estadunidense, y James K. Glassman, ex subsecretario de Estado y director ejecutivo del Instituto George W. Bush, fundado por el ex presidente estadunidense, reconocen que los actuales miembros del G20 no tienen interés alguno en abrir ese debate, pero sugieren que la membresía podría que ser replanteada cada cinco años.
"La legitimidad (del G20) empieza con quiénes están adentro y quiénes están fuera", explicó Glassman en conferencia teléfonica con periodistas.
El G20 fue creado hace 13 años como un mero foro de debate a la sombra del G7, pero las reglas para formar parte del foro nunca fueron claramente establecidas, recuerdan los expertos en su artículo.
Con el estallido de la crisis de 2008 el grupo asumió un inesperado liderazgo, reforzado además por el creciente peso económico de los emergentes que vieron en el G20 un foro en el que legitimar su mayor peso económico.
Publicado por la Unión de Contribuyentes estadunidenses, el informe propone cuatro criterios para fijar esa membresía.
La talla económica y el peso internacional de cada país, su respeto al Estado de Derecho y a la economía de mercado y la importancia de su sector financiero, deberían ser esos criterios, explican.
Tras aplicar patrones de organizaciones multilaterales e independientes, Estados Unidos aparece en primer lugar, con poco más de 95 puntos sobre 100 en este reporte.
El 'corte' se establecería debajo de Arabia Saudita, con 39.4 puntos.
Con 18.1 puntos, "hay pocas dudas de que Argentina queda fuera", aseveró Glassman.
El país sudamericano es miembro fundador del G20, pero dos años después, en 2001, tras un derrumbe económico, anunció la mayor moratoria unilateral de deuda en la Historia.
Los expertos aseguraron que ese tema, que provoca debate en círculos legislativos y políticos en Washington, no entró en sus parámetros para sacar a Argentina del G20.
México y Rusia serían dos países cuyos niveles de corrupción y opacidad deberían impedirles seguir estando en el grupo.
La opción de un "castigo" a esos países "nos parece un poco fuera de lugar. Cualquier país tiene el derecho a volver" al seno del grupo, añadió Brill.
"Estos cambios asumen que la Unión Europea seguiría siendo miembro del G20 aunque no sea una nación, aunque el número de naciones europeas en el G20 estaría limitado a cuatro, como sucede en la actualidad", añaden los expertos.
Los miembros actuales del G20 son Alemania, Argentina, Arabia Saudita, Australia, Brasil, Canadá, China, Corea del Sur, Estados Unidos, Francia, India, Indonesia, Italia, Japón, México, Reino Unido, Rusia, Sudáfrica, Turquía y la Unión Europea.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
