A Local History of National Politics, 1880-1930", an academic monograph about the direct interactions between 'ordinary Parisian citizens and their députés, based primarly on letters written by these citizens.3) "Het volkerentijdperk? Een politieke geschiedenis van de wereld sinds 1776" [The era of the people(s)?. A political history of the world since 1776", a handbook for the course Nieuwste Tijd: Politek en Instellingen, but at the same time reflexive synthesis intended for a broader audience on the paradoxes of democratic ambitions and political practices in the world since the era of the Atlantic Revolutions.
