Emilio Del Pupo is a doctoral researcher in Latin American Studies at the University of Helsinki, specializing in trade politics, civil society engagement, and Brazil–EU relations. His research explores how sustainability standards, regulatory conditionality, and interest group politics shape international trade negotiations, with a regional focus on South America.

His work has been published in academic journals such as Globalizations and the Journal of Civil Society, analyzing issues ranging from participatory mechanisms and stakeholder lobbying to the politicization of agricultural trade. Emilio is particularly interested in how environmental and social demands are negotiated within unequal global trade frameworks.
