The Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) is a centre-right think tank and advocacy group in the United Kingdom.[1] Its goal is to promote coherent and practical policies based on its founding principles of: free markets, "small state," low tax, national independence, self determination and responsibility.[2] While being independent, the centre has historical links to the Conservative Party.[3]
Since its founding in 1974, the centre has played a global role in the dissemination of free market economics alongside policy proposals claimed to be on the basis of responsibility and individual choice.[2] It is regarded as having had "considerable historical influence".[4][5][6]
