A free market organisation which closed down in the 1980s. A successor body is the Cordell Hull Institute
- Of lasting value was the Centre’s pioneering work on how to tackle in multilateral trade negotiations (i) the competition-distorting effects of non-tariff measures, (ii) the extension of the trade-liberalizing process to the services sector and (iii) the reduction of levels of farm-support and the import restrictions required to sustain them.
- Closely associated with the Centre’s work over two decades were many eminent names in international economics, commercial diplomacy and public discussion. Most prominent among them in shaping the research program were Harry G. Johnson, W.M. Corden, Martin Wolf and Brian Hindley.
- The first three directors-general of the GATT actively encouraged and participated in the Centre’s activities – Sir Eric Wyndham White on the board, Olivier Long in two high-level groups and Arthur Dunkel in numerous international meetings. Others associated with the GATT – from one of its principal architects, James E. Meade, to senior officials like Gardner Patterson and Jan Tumlir, also on the board, and the legal scholar Robert E. Hudec – helped to stimulate thought and analysis.
- Many others in public life took part in the Centre’s high-level meetings, among them William E. Brock III, Lydia Dunn, Count Otto Lambsdorff, Staffan Burenstam Linder, Harald B. Malmgren, Nam Duck-Woo, Saburo Okita, Cecil Parkinson, Helga Steeg, Robert S. Strauss, Amnuay Viravan and Clayton Yeutter.[1]
