Additional Information
Published in the same year as the devastating tsunami that battered South East Asia, this CIA produced intelligence map bears a distinct style and portrays all geopolitical boundaries. Top US intelligence officials need to set policy goals to create comprehensive defense strategies. By 2004 the region was experiencing a period of growth and transformation after experiencing decades of war and civil unrest, and this time of peace allowed significant growth and expansion.
Following the conclusion of World War II, the region experienced a prolonged period of decolonization, with many modern borders being re-drawn and new nations and governments emerging. Since the start of the twenty-first century, the region has experienced an economic boom that continues to grow along with development and population.
The region's topographical diversity has influenced its development and history and is one of its most unique features. The CIA is the official cartographical arm for the United States, and its crisp style and aesthetic are immediately recognizable. Since 1941 this arm of the intelligence agency has maintained current borders, and through their progression, the world's history can be told. Many of the maps produced by the agency are not released until years after they are produced under confidential statuses and released when the information is no longer sensitive. This depiction of a region with shifting geopolitical and cultural boundaries allows the viewer to understand how national leaders determine policy throughout the world and is an authentic piece of cartographical history.
