He specializes in understanding the influence of domestic politics—especially populism—on decision-making processes in foreign policy, and how international organizations play a role during crises. His work includes an international comparative study on (crisis) decision-making in foreign policy and examines how developments in international relations affect the rise and fall of populist parties and movements, as well as how these populist groups impact governments' foreign policies. Verbeek is involved in various notable projects, including investigations into the evolving role of middle powers in the globalized post-Cold War era, and the impact of intergovernmental organizations on contemporary world politics.
