Abstract

The present article analyzes the recent events occurred between Cambodia and Thailand caused by the control of the temple of Preah Vihear in the common border. Along to it, the article shows the internal political derivations of this confrontation and the possible international consequences of this conflict in the totality of the Asian region. The conflict of Preah Vihear is only one more crisis in the long chain of tension spots within Southeast Asia and shows the way that other conflicts that are latent may explode.
