Center for Policy Studies The CPS, headquartered in London, is a center-right think tank which develops and publishes public policy proposals and arranges seminars and lectures on topical policy issues. Part of its mission is to influence policy around the world. It also maintains a range of informal contacts with politicians, policymakers, civil servants and the press, in Britain and abroad. The CPS was founded by Mrs. Thatcher and Sir Keith Joseph (as they then were) to build, and to take to the country, policies of conviction based on limited government, the understanding of market forces and sound money.
