Peer-reviewed journal articles
With a focus on biodiversity governance, including governance of biotechnologies and genetic resources, my articles have been published in prestigious journals including the Yearbook of International Environmental Law (YBIEL) and the Journal of World Intellectual Property, and specialized ones such as the Review of European, Comparative and International Environmental Law (RECIEL) and Transnational Environmental Law.

Other journal articles
My collaboration with YBIEL included: authoring the annual report on implementation of international and European environmental law in Greece from 2005 to 2017; co-authoring (with E. Morgera) the annual report on the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2009, 2011-2012 and 2014; and co-authoring (with E. Morgera) the 2011-2012 reports on indigenous peoples’ rights. My regular contribution to Environmental Policy and Law (EPL) from 2005 to 2020 was based on my acknowledged expertise and writing and analytical skills, and has resulted in the publication of 88 articles on topics related to my research interests, including the following ones:
