Abstract
The ultimate mystery of decisions which, in some cases at least, are clearly acts of free will and products of imagination, escape full explanation. No attempt is made here to try one.1 After discussing some of the general problems of choice, the five sections of this chapter merely outline the issues of freedom and will, dynamism, attitudes to the domestic and the international environments and to conflict and co-operation.
