The International Tracing Service archives offer process-generated documents from resettlement programs for displaced persons (DP) after World War II. This paper addresses two key challenges to ongoing research based on those archival holdings: the generation of data; and the visual representation of that data in geographic information systems. Digital history offers the opportunity to go beyond case studies and use the wealth of process-generated documents as se- rial sources for algorithm-based analysis. However, data in that form does not exist as such, and thus needs to be generated – a process that implies interpre- tative acts such as abstraction, normalization, and trans-coding, which are shaped by the character of digital media. Can modeling a DP’s life into a series of events, and digitally processing the resultant data, help to find out more about the agency of DPs negotiating their destiny with the authorities? If the mostly hidden and implicit configurations of digital knowledge production are thoughtfully considered and geostatistical analysis is combined with close readings of selected source documents, hermeneutic and quantitative ap- proaches can be reconciled via digital history. This mixed method approach has implications for research culture and the publication of such data.

»Zunehmende und abnehmende Machtungleichheiten: eine prozesssoziologische Perspektive. Eine Antwort auf Cas Wouters und ein Vorschlag zur Verdeutlichung«. Responding to an essay by Cas Wouters in this journal, this article aims to clarify historical trends of increasing and decreasing power inequalities. It criticizes Wouters’s rejection of the notion of “functional dedemocratisation,” his claim that “functional democratisation” was a dominant trend in the whole of human history, and his idea that this process results from long-term trends of differentiation and integration. This paper specifies when and under which conditions processes of functional democratisation did occur, and when and under which conditions developments in the direction of growing power inequality were dominant. Explanations for trends in these different directions are advanced. The paper’s final section argues that for the past 40 years processes of both functional democratisation and functional dedemocratisation can be discerned, which take place on different integration levels and along different axes.

»Die Entwicklung von Wehrpflicht, Militär und Wohlfahrtsstaat: Eine Einführung«. This paper discusses several possible causal mechanisms through which conscription and military interests might have shaped the development of western welfare states in the age of industrialized mass warfare. Relevant factors are military concerns about the quantity and quality of the population, the necessity to enhance legitimacy and to secure mass loyalty in times of war and military threat, and a growing pressure to compensate the ‘blood tax’ imposed by the draft with civic and social rights after the end of war.
[endentwicklung von wehrpflight, Militär und Wohlfahrtsstaat: Eine einfhrung]。本文讨论了几个可能的因果机制，通过这些机制，征兵和军事利益可能塑造了工业化大规模战争时代西方福利国家的发展。相关因素包括军队对人口数量和质量的担忧，在战争和军事威胁时期提高合法性和确保群众忠诚的必要性，以及在战争结束后以公民和社会权利补偿征兵所带来的“血税”的日益增长的压力。
