This situation reminded me of Simmons' article on Territorial Disputes. The tension between Venezuala and Colombia was caused by Colombia's cross-border attack on a rebel base in Ecuador. It's amazing how fast the dispute has supposedly been resolved. It seems that the resolution rests on alterior motives, and I wonder if this is a shaky foundation for patched-up relations. The whole incident reflects many issues in Latin America concerning inter-regional trade, third party abritration, and political stability.
