In the aftermath of the deadly terror attacks in Paris on the weekend, Charles Sturt University (CSU) has experts in international policing and security who can provide commentary and analysis.

- Head of CSU's Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security (AGSPS) and counter-terrorism expert, Associate Professor Nick O'Brien, said while there's no immediate threat, Australian authorities will be studying what happened in Paris to ensure they are prepared if multiple terrorist attacks were carried out here.

- CSU lecturer in terrorism and national security, Mr Levi West, said, "These tactics are utilised because they present a relatively simple yet highly effective mechanism for launching terrorist operations. The impacts on France, on Europe, and indeed on the Western world more broadly, will be substantial, and ongoing."

- CSU senior lecturer in intelligence and security studies, Dr Patrick Walsh, said international agencies will be sharing information to track down those responsible.

"Concern has already been raised that one attacker may have entered Greece in one of the many  surges of mass-migrants this year fleeing Syria. This poses great challenges for police and security agencies because the documents were more than likely fake," said Dr Walsh.

"In crises like these the police, intelligence and defence agencies will be combing through their databases for any chatter and persons of interests that may be involved, however  peripherally.

"Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom intelligence agencies will also be sharing intelligence with their counterparts in France.

"It will also be crucial to see if a greater coordinated military and political strategy can come out of leadership talks in Turkey, particularly a closer working relationship with Russia and the US to take some furtive steps towards agreeing on a post-Assad transition in Syria. This will be important, as will be a discussion on what further steps can be taken to improve border security in the wake of the mass movement of people fleeing Syria, Iraq and Africa," Dr Walsh said.
