Critics Review
‘This is a timely and important book on a topic that, despite its great theoretical and practical significance, has received too little academic attention and analysis. Danielle Ireland-Piper’s work is a milestone in documenting, conceptualizing, and understanding extraterritoriality. Her book identifies the many challenges and opportunities in this area of law and provides a catalyst for future law reform and policy change in this field.’ – Andreas Schloenhardt, The University of Queensland, Australia and University of Vienna, Austria
‘Dr. Danielle Ireland-Piper’s Accountability in Extraterritoriality: A Comparative and International Law Perspective is a welcomed addition to the existing literature in the field. This excellent monograph makes an invaluable contribution on a topic - extraterritorial jurisdiction and how we appropriately can restrict it - that only will continue to increase in relevance in coming years. Dr. Ireland-Piper is to be congratulated on managing to write in such a clear and accessible manner on such a complex topic, and for her useful proposals for how this crucial area of law ought to develop.’ – Dan Svantesson, Bond University, Australia
‘This work by Ireland-Piper is welcome, as it explores issues of extraterritorial jurisdiction from a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives. The book provides the reader with a richness of scholarship, academic attention and analysis in this field and it is a must read for anyone with interest in this topic. It makes a very valuable contribution on extraterritorial jurisdiction and how we can appropriately restrict it.’ – Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal
