Dr. Onur Ulas Ince is Senior Lecturer in Political Theory at the Department of Politics and International Studies, SOAS University of London. He holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University's Department of Government (2013) and has previously held faculty positions at Koç University and Singapore Management University. His visiting fellowships include Princeton University, Brown University, and the National University of Singapore.
His research focuses on the intersection of political theory, political economy, and colonial studies, examining how imperial frameworks shaped global capitalism. Major works include the award-winning Colonial Capitalism and the Dilemmas of Liberalism (Oxford UP, 2018), which received the 2020 David and Elaine Spitz Prize and was a finalist for the C.B. Macpherson Prize. Current projects include monographs on racial capitalism in Asia and liberal anti-imperialism under contract with Oxford University Press.
Research spans:
- Imperial political economy and racial capitalism
- Liberal theory's engagement with colonialism
- Historical analyses of British imperial capitalism
- Trans-imperial frameworks for studying race and capital
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on colonial capitalism, racialization processes, and critiques of liberalism through historical case studies (British India, Asian settlements) and engagement with Enlightenment thinkers (Smith, Hume, Burke). Recent work increasingly examines racialization within imperial economic systems.
Awards and Honors:
- David and Elaine Spitz Prize (2020)
- C.B. Macpherson Prize Finalist (2020)
