Present perfect and past simple

"But by the end of 2011, Washington and Moscow began to drift apart, as a changing geopolitical context has produced a growing disconnect between the two countries' objectives and guiding values in key policy areas." could you please comment on relation between past simple and present perfect here? Shouldnt it be "HAD produced" because it happened earlier than "began". Help please.
