Administrative history
PSI was formed in 1978 through the merger of Political and Economic Planning (PEP, established in 1931) and the Centre for Studies in Social Policy (CSSP, established in 1972). In January 1998, PSI became a wholly-owned subsidiary company of the University of Westminster, fully merging with the University in April 2009. The Institute retains its name, and continues to undertake the policy-relevant, high quality research for which it has always been noted.
A history of the PSI was produced on the occasion of its 75th anniversary in 2006: http://www.psi.org.uk/pdf/PSIbrochure.pdf
