Thank you for this article and the additional information. In most cases, such "disaster diplomacy" http://www.disasterdiplomacy.org tends not to yield long-term outcomes. The short-term frequently sees disasters or disaster-related activities influencing diplomacy as long as the diplomacy had a pre-existing basis. Over the long-term or without a pre-existing basis, disaster factors tend to fade when considering diplomacy. This case is an interesting subset of disaster diplomacy, being focused on a border or territorial dispute. It might be a useful analysis to examine case studies involving principally a border dispute, rather than with other influences (e.g. USA-Cuba, USA-Iran, Southern African droughts, and Hurricane Mitch).
