Cold War World [239]

At the height of the Cold War, the world’s major military powers could easily be split into two camps: the Communist Bloc designated with red and the Free World designated with blue.

Human Rights - Human Lights [230]

Every dot on this globe represents many thousands of people.
Just as humans - human rights are supposed to be universal as set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, in some countries they are seen as relative at best or only partially valid within the context of their cultures. (Bangcok Declaration)

Terrorism [225-3]

Darkened areas indicate presence of terrorist groups. Underlined groups are active in more than one country, underscoring their multinational and transnational character and ambition.

Population Bubble [43]

The question will not be what, but how to feed a population that will exceed 10 billion. Since 1985, due to agricultural engineering advances, the earth has yielded more food than we can possibly consume - yet geopolitical structures continue to leave millions of people dying of starvation.

Car Producing Countries [214]

Borders of all car-producing countries are highlighted even if no more than 30 (Mozambique) or 50 (Ethiopia) cars are made. Each dot represents a yearly production volume of 100.000 vehicles.

CO2 Spiral [30]

Between 1950 and 1986, annual carbon dioxide emissions have tripled. The principal source of these emissions is fossil fuel combustion, but natural gas flaring and cement production also contributes to the rising level. Carbon dioxide is the major cause of the Greenhouse Effect.
