In the 1970s and 1980s West Germany was a pioneer in both the use
of the new information technologies for population surveillance and
the adoption of privacy protection legislation. During this era of
cultural change and political polarization, the expansion,
bureaucratization, and computerization of population surveillance
disrupted the norms that had governed the exchange and use of
personal information in earlier decades and gave rise to a set of
distinctly postindustrial social conflicts centered on the use of
personal information as a means of social governance in the welfare
state. Combining vast archival research with a groundbreaking
theoretical analysis, this book gives a definitive account of the
politics of personal information in West Germany at the dawn of the
information society.
