Adding this feature would result in more realistic "negotiations" rather than ideas that get out right rejected.

This may be beyond the scope of the game, but would it be possible to add international summits (like G7, or WTO), where AI would be more receptive to treaties? For example, a summit would be scheduled by the World Market with a list of powerful attending nations. If nations do not agree to treaties proposed by either the World Market or other nations, they would receive a large domestic rating hit. The whole world is watching the summits on TV, so you tend to be nicer than usual.

This would be interesting but a bit much perhaps to place somewhere in SR2010. Besides, there is only the World Market. And, the World Market is pushing for countries to unite, through vote or by force or by surrender,etc. Having treaties that you hope to have for awhile doesn't fit into the timeline of the game. Besides it would suck if you were forced to sign a treaty with a country you were planning to attack next week.

This is true, but some would argue that doing things you don't want to do is at the heart of international politics.

I think that maybe rather getting anything out of a summit, it should just boost relations between the two participating nations. A sort of easing tensions. The belli bar could go down a bit, they'd be more receptive to treaties and trade later. Basically serves to improve realations.

Hmmmm.... Could be made a Minister Priority "Attend and Host Summits". Would increase the cost of running the department etc... Have to play with this idea a bit.
