The Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) is a centre-right think tank and advocacy group in the United Kingdom. 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. While being independent, the centre has historical links to the Conservative Party.
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. It is regarded as having had "considerable historical influence".
