Van Belle is a multi-disciplinary scholar with a diverse research portfolio.

The diversity of his expertise is driven by his creative works, including several science fiction novels, as well has his introduction to politics textbook, A Novel Approach to Politics, which is in its 7th edition. His latest novel, A World Adrift, is set in the skies of Venus, 800 years after it was first colonized, and explores the human impact of the politics of extreme resource scarcity.
