Fatherhood is in transition and being challenged by often
contradictory forces: societal mandates to be both an active father
and provider, men's own wish to be more involved with their
children, and the institutional arrangements in which fathers work
and live. This book explores these phenomena in the context of
cross-national policies and their relation to the daily childcare
practices of fathers. It presents the current state of knowledge on
father involvement with young children in six countries from
different welfare state regimes with unique policies related to
parenting in general and fathers in particular: Finland, Germany,
Italy, Slovenia, the UK and the USA.
This book offers a timely analysis of work and labor processes and
how they are rapidly changing under globalization. The contributors
explore traditional sectors of the U.S. and world economies - from
auto to steel to agriculture - as well as work under new production
arrangements, such as third world export processing zones. Many
chapters analyze changing dynamics of gender, nationality, and
class. The contributors explain why more intensified forms of
control by the state and by capital interests are emerging under
globalization. Yet they also emphasize new possibilities for labor,
including new forms of organizing and power sharing in a rapidly
changing economy.
