Dr Billy Melo Araujo

School of Law

My work focuses on EU law and international trade law. I am particularly interested in the regulatory dimension of trade agreements, the interplay between international trade law and regulatory autonomy/democratic legitimacy. I am also interested in trade law dimensions of Brexit with a particular focus on the role of devolved authorities in shaping UK trade law and policy.
