Danielle Ireland-Piper

I have expertise in national security, human rights, constitutional law, and international law, including space law and principles of extraterritoriality. I have worked in the QLD, NSW and Australian governments, and in the private sector, including across a diverse range of policy and legal issues, from national security, anti-corruption, climate change, countering transnational crime, international law, human rights, space and security, constitutional law, health, community services, and workplace law. I have been a visiting scholar in Fiji, India, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.

I am an Associate Professor at the ANU National Security College (Australian National University) and an Honorary Adjunct Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at Bond University. I completed a Master of Laws at the University of Cambridge as a Chevening Scholar in 2004 and a PhD at the University of Queensland in 2014.

I am the author of books, including National Security Law in Australia (Federation Press, 2024), ''Accountability in Extraterritoriality: A Comparative and International Law Perspective' (Edward Elgar, 2017), and (co-author) of 'Extraterritoriality in East Asia: Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction in China, Japan, and South Korea' (Edward Elgar, 2021), as well as co-editor of 'Global Governance and Regulation: Order/Disorder in the 21st Century' (Routledge, 2018). I also publish journal articles, blogs, and expert commentary on a number of public interest topics. I have received both teaching and research awards.
