Henk te Velde focuses on Dutch (and Western European) history from the late 18th century to the present, in particular political history and its spillover into contemporary politics. His books cover the history of liberalism and nationalism, political leadership and political traditions, and international comparative parliamentary eloquence. Topics include political culture, rhetoric, debate and eloquence, constitutional and structural political issues, parliamentary politics and political leadership. In early 2025, he will be completing a book on political eloquence and debate culture in the Netherlands from 1800 onwards. He regularly lectures on populism, citizenship angry citizens in historical perspective. Drawing on his expertise on the royal family, he is involved in research on the House of Orange and colonial history.
