Reproduction, fatherhood, and fathering are key elements of successful societies and buoyant economies. Whereas Western nations face challenges around declining fertility, aging populations, and the provision of labor, including through immigration, many non-Western nations face challenges around poverty, unemployment, and failed states, as seen in the Middle East uprisings. These intersecting trends in the context of a rapidly globalizing world make men’s lives more fluid, transitory, stressful, and transnational. The question remains as to how men manage to balance their roles as fathers and nurturers amidst these global challenges. “Globalized Fatherhood” brings together 16 scholars from around the world whose work focuses on transformations in 21st-century fatherhood in the era of globalization.
