Overview
The Royal Institute of International Affairs has its headquarters in central London at 10 St James’s Square, which is known as Chatham House. It is a Grade I listed 18th-century building that was designed in part by Henry Flitcroft and was occupied by three British prime ministers, including William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, whose name became associated with the house.Michela Rosso, “Georgian London revisited.” The London Journal 26.2 (2001): 35–50. Canadian philanthropists Lieutenant-Colonel Reuben Wells Leonard and Kate Rowlands Leonard purchased the property in 1923 and then donated the building to the fledgling institute as its headquarters.BOOK, Ziff, Bruce H., Unforeseen Legacies: Reuben Wells Leonard and the Leonard Foundation Trust, 1 January 2000, University of Toronto Press, 52, 9780802083685,books.google.com/books?id=S7L-VKEh-i4C&pg=PA52, 10 July 2020, 30 July 2023,web.archive.org/web/20230730204055/https://books.google.com/books?id=S7L-VKEh-i4C&pg=PA52, live, As a result, the Chatham House name is used as a metonym for the institute as a whole.Chatham House accepts individual members, as well as members from corporations, academic institutions, and NGOs.WEB,www.chathamhouse.org/become-member, Become a member, Chatham House, 22 January 2015, 21 January 2015,www.chathamhouse.org/become-member," title="web.archive.org/web/20150121203318www.chathamhouse.org/become-member,">web.archive.org/web/20150121203318www.chathamhouse.org/become-member, live,Chatham House Rule
Chatham House is the origin of the non-attribution rule known as the Chatham House Rule, which provides that an attendee of a meeting may discuss the content of this meeting in the outside world, but may not discuss who attended nor identify what a specific individual said. The Chatham House Rule evolved to facilitate frank and honest discussion on controversial or unpopular issues by speakers who may not have otherwise had the appropriate forum to speak freely. Despite this, most meetings at Chatham House are held on the record, and not under the Chatham House Rule.Richard Horton, “Offline: The Chatham House Rule, over-ruled.” The Lancet 375.9732 (2010): 2132.Research and publications

Origins
The Royal Institute of International Affairs originated in a meeting, convened by Lionel Curtis, of the American and British delegates to the Paris Peace Conference on 30 May 1919. Curtis had long been an advocate for the scientific study of international affairs and, following the beneficial exchange of information after the peace conference, argued that the method of expert analysis and debate should be continued when the delegates returned home in the form of international institute.{{harvp|Carrington|2004|p=47}}File:Lionel Curtis.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Lionel Curtis was instrumental in the founding of Chatham House.]]The British and American delegates formed separate institutes, with the Americans developing the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.WEB, Our history,www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/our-history, 12 September 2022, Chatham House – International Affairs Think Tank, en, 30 September 2022,web.archive.org/web/20220930163249/https://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/our-history, live, The British Institute of International Affairs, as it was then known, held its inaugural meeting, chaired by Robert Cecil, on 5 July 1920. In this, former Foreign Secretary Edward Grey moved the resolution calling the institute into existence:“That an Institute be constituted for the study of International Questions, to be called the British Institute of International Affairs.”{{harvp|Carrington|2004|p=48}}These two, along with Arthur J. Balfour and John R. Clynes, became the first Presidents of the institute, with Lionel Curtis and G. M. Gathorne–Hardy appointed joint Honorary Secretaries.By 1922, as the institute’s membership grew, there was a need for a larger and more practical space and the Institute acquired, through the gift of Canadian Colonel R. W. Leonard, Chatham House, Number 10 St. James’s Square, where the institute is still housed.{{harvp|Carrington|2004|p=50}}Inter-war years
Following its inception, the Institute quickly focused upon Edward Grey’s resolution, with the 1920s proving an active decade at Chatham House. The journal International Affairs was launched in January 1922, allowing for the international circulation of the various reports and discussions which took place within the institute.After being appointed as Director of Studies, Professor Arnold Toynbee produced the institute’s annual Survey of International Affairs until his retirement in 1955. While providing a detailed annual overview of international relations, the survey’s primary role was ‘to record current international history’.’Report of the Council of the Royal Institute of International Affairs to the 7th AGM’ in The Royal Institute of International Affairs Annual Reports 1926–1931, (London: Chatham House, 1931), p. 3. The survey continued until 1963 and was well received throughout the Institution, coming to be known as ‘the characteristic external expression of Chatham House research: a pioneer in method and a model for scholarship.Report of the Council of the Royal Institute of International Affairs to the 7th AGM’ in The Royal Institute of International Affairs Annual Reports 1926–1931’’, (London: Chatham House, 1931), p. 11.In 1926, 14 members of Chatham House represented the United Kingdom at the first conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations, a forum dedicated to the discussion of problems and relations between Pacific nations.’Report of the 8th AGM’ in Annual Reports 1926–1931, p. 3 The IPR served as a platform for the institute to develop a political and commercial awareness of the region, with special focus being placed upon China’s economic development and international relations.’Report of the 11th AGM’ in Annual Reports 1926–1931, p. 31.In the same year the Institute received its royal charter, thereupon being known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The Charter set out the aims and objectives of the institute, which were to “advance the sciences of international politics... promote the study and investigation of international questions by means of lectures and discussion... promote the exchange of information, knowledge and thought on international affairs.“’Report of the 11th AGM’ in Annual Reports 1926–1931, pp. 5–6.Further expansion
The year 1929 marked the next stage in the institute’s development, with the appointment of a full-time chief executive or director. Ivison Macadam was appointed to the position (Secretary and then Director-General),Chatham House: Its History and Inhabitants, C. E. Carrington, Revised and updated by Mary Bone, The Royal Institute of International Affairs, 2004. in which he oversaw the institute’s rapid expansion with its growing research, organisational and financial needs,Obituary of Ivison Macadam published in The Times, London, 31 December 1974 by Kenneth Younger a role he occupied until 1955.Macadam was able to secure funding to expand the physical plant of the Institute by acquiring the freeholds of 6 Duke of York Street, then called York Street (largely through the generosity of Waldorf Astor, John Power, and others) and later 9 St James’s Square, then the Portland Club, in 1943 (through a donation to cover its purchase by Henry Price), and connect these adjoining properties to the original freehold property of Chatham House at 10 St James Square (with the cost of these connections covered by Astor’s sons, William, David, and John). Power also donated his leasehold property in Chesham Place to the Institute in 1938. These additional properties provided much needed additional space for the institute’s activities.The Institute then owned the freeholds covering a rectangle of properties fronting on 10 and 9 in St. James’s Square on the south running north bordered on the east by Duke of York Street to the properties on Ormand Yard on the north (the mews immediately south of Jermyn Street). These freehold properties also later proved to be a valuable financial asset when in the 1960s the northern properties were redeveloped to provide additional annual income for the Institute. Chatham House: Its History and Inhabitants, C. E. Carrington, Revised and updated by Mary Bone, The Royal Institute of International Affairs, 2004.1929 also saw the inception of the institute’s special study group on the international gold problem. The group, which included leading economists such as John Maynard Keynes, conducted a three-year study into the developing economic issues which the post-war international monetary settlement created.WEB, The International Gold Problem, 1931-2011,www.chathamhouse.org/research/economics/current-projects/international-gold-problem-1931-2011, 27 January 2014, 20 February 2014,www.chathamhouse.org/research/economics/current-projects/international-gold-problem-1931-2011," title="web.archive.org/web/20140220065938www.chathamhouse.org/research/economics/current-projects/international-gold-problem-1931-2011,">web.archive.org/web/20140220065938www.chathamhouse.org/research/economics/current-projects/international-gold-problem-1931-2011, live, The group’s research anticipated Britain’s decision to abandon the gold standard two years later.WEB, Kisch, C.H., The Gold Problem,www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/Research/International%20Economics/1931kisch.pdf, Chatham House, 31 January 2014,www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/Research/International%20Economics/1931kisch.pdf," title="web.archive.org/web/20130626013039www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/Research/International%20Economics/1931kisch.pdf,">web.archive.org/web/20130626013039www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/Research/International%20Economics/1931kisch.pdf, 26 June 2013, dead, Around this time Chatham House became known as the place for leading statesmen and actors in world affairs to visit when in London; notably, Mahatma Gandhi visited the institute on 20 October 1931, in which he delivered a talk on “The Future of India”. The talk was attended by 750 members, making it the institute’s largest meeting up to that point.In 1933 Norman Angell, whilst working within the institute’s Council, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his book The Great Illusion, making him the first and only Laureate to be awarded the prize for publishing a book.WEB,www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1933/angell-facts.html, Sir Norman Angell - Facts, Nobelprize.org, 7 October 1967, 4 August 2014, 12 July 2014,www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1933/angell-facts.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20140712120055www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1933/angell-facts.html,">web.archive.org/web/20140712120055www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1933/angell-facts.html, live, Chatham House held the first Commonwealth Relations Conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1933.

Chatham House’s WWII Foreign Press and Research Service
At the outbreak of the Second World War the institute was decentralised for security reasons, with many of the staff moving to Balliol College, Oxford from Chatham House’s main buildings in St James’s Square. There, the Foreign Press and Research Service of the Institute worked closely with the Foreign Office to provide intelligence for and to work closely with the Foreign Office dedicating their research to the war effort under the Chairmanship of Waldorf Astor,Chatham House: Its history and inhabitants, C. E. Carrington and Mary Bone, Royal Institute of International Affairs, p 114 The formal remit of Chatham House for the FPRS at Balliol was:1. To review the press overseas.2. To “produce at the request of the Foreign Office, and the Service and other Departments, memoranda giving the historical and political background on any given situation on which information is desired”.3. “To provide information on special points desired” (in regards to each country).BOOK, Charles Carrington (historian) and Marry Bone, 2004, Chatham House: Its History and Inhabitants, Chatham House, 1-86203-154-1, 63–64, It provided various reports on foreign press, historical and political background of the enemy and various other topics.Many eminent historians served on the FPRS under Arnold J. Toynbee as its Director and with Lionel Curtis (represented the Chairman) at Oxford until 1941 when Ivison Macadam took over from him. There were four deputy directors. The four Deputy Directors were Alfred Zimmern, George N. Clark, Herbert J. Patton and Charles K. Webster and a number of experts in nineteen national divisions.Experts in their fields working at Chatham House’s WWII Foreign Press and Research Service included J. L. Brierly working on reform of international law; A. J. B. Fisher on economic conditions for reconstruction of Europe; Benedict H. Sumner on the USSR; Charles K. Webster on the United States; Alfred Zimmern on the British Commonwealth and Empire; H. A. R. Gibb on the Arab world; R. A. Humphreys on Latin America; George N.

(File:Committee of Reconstruction, 1943..jpg|thumb|Committee of Post-War Reconstruction meeting in the institute’s Common Room, 1943.)The institute also provided many additional services to scholars and the armed forces at its St. James’s Square home. The Institute reopened formally on 28 October 1943; the session was addressed by the American commanding general of U.S. Army logistics forces in the ETO, then-Maj. Gen. John C. H. Lee, who spent a substantial part of his time working with the Theater G-5 officer (Civil-Military Affairs), MG Ray W. Barker. Research facilities were opened to refugee and allied academics, whilst arrangements were made for both the National Institute of Economic and Social Research and the Polish Research Centre to relocate to the Institute following the bombing of their premises. In addition, allied officers undertook courses in international affairs at the Institute in an attempt to develop their international and political awareness as well as post war reconstruction planning.The post-war years
Chatham House had been researching potential post-war issues as early as 1939 through the Committee on Reconstruction. Whilst a number of staff returned to the Institute at the end of the war, a proportion of members found themselves joining a range of international organisations, including the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund. Combining this with the institute’s early support of the League of Nations and impact of the gold study on the Bretton Woods system, Chatham House found itself to be a leading actor in international political and economic redevelopment.File:Margaret Thatcher at the door of Chatham House..jpg|thumb|200px|left|(Margaret Thatcher]] leaving Chatham House after attending the ‘Inside Saudi Arabia: Society, Economy and Defence’ conference, October 1993.)In reaction to the changing post-war world, Chatham House embarked on a number of studies relating to Britain and the Commonwealth’s new political stature, in light of growing calls for decolonisation and the development of the Cold War.WEB, Julius, DeAnne, Impartial and International,www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/General/1110turkey_julius.pdf,www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/General/1110turkey_julius.pdf," title="web.archive.org/web/20121018082730www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/General/1110turkey_julius.pdf,">web.archive.org/web/20121018082730www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/General/1110turkey_julius.pdf, dead, 18 October 2012, Chatham House, 24 January 2014, A board of studies in race relations was created in 1953, allowing for the close examination of changing attitudes and calls for racial equality throughout the world.

Che Guevara, then Cuba’s Minister of Industry, wrote an analysis of ‘The Cuban Economy: Its Past and Present Importance’ in 1964 for International Affairs.The Royal Institute of International Affairs Annual Reports, 1964-1965, p. 3.Chatham House played a more direct role in the international affairs of the Cold War through the October 1975 Anglo-Soviet round-table, the first in a series of meetings between Chatham House and the Institute of World Economy and International Relations in Moscow. As an early example of two-track diplomacy, the meeting sought to develop closer communication and improved relations between Britain and the Soviet Union.The Royal Institute of International Affairs Annual Reports, 1975-1976, p. 3.At the start of the 1980s, the Council moved to expand the institute’s research capabilities in two key emerging areas. The first modern programmes to be created under this initiative were the Energy and Research Programme and the International Economics Programme, formed in 1980 - 1981.The Royal Institute of International Affairs Annual Reports, 1980–1981, p. 9.In addition to reshaping its research practices, the institute also sought to strengthen its international network, notably amongst economically prosperous nations. For example, Chatham House’s Far East programme, created with the intention of improving Anglo-Japanese relations in the long and short term, was bolstered by the support of the Japan 2000 group in 1984.The Royal Institute of International Affairs Annual Reports, 1984-1985, p. 7.File:Nelson Mandela at the ‘South Africa The opportunity for business’ conference, Chatham House..jpg|thumb|180px|(Nelson Mandela]] delivering a speech at the Chatham House conference ‘South Africa: The Opportunities for Business’, 10 July 1996.)Recent history
