Coresidential paternal roles in industrialized countries: Sweden, Hungary and the United States / Livia Sz. Oláh, Eva M. Bernhardt and Frances K. Goldscheider -- Citizens, workers or fathers? Men in the history of US social policy / Ann Shola Orloff and Renee Monson -- Compulsory fatherhood: the coding of fatherhood in the Swedish welfare state / Helena Bergman and Barbara Hobson -- The problem of fathers: policy and behavior in Britain / Jane Lewis -- A new role for fathers? The German case / Ilona Ostner -- Transformations of fatherhood: the Netherlands / Trudie Knijn and Peter Selten -- Making sense of fatherhood: the non-payment of child support in Spain / Ingegerd Municio-Larsson and Carmen Pujol Algans -- The Fatherhood Responsibility Movement: the centrality of marriage, work and male sexuality in reconstructions of masculinity and fatherhood / Anna Gavanas -- Men, fathers and the state: national and global relations / Jeff Hearn.

Fatherhood is on the political agenda in many countries, often cast in terms of crisis. One side of the policy debate focuses on fathers as deadbeat dads who do not provide financial support and care for their children. The other revolves around making men into active and engaged fathers. However, these policies are often at odds with the employers' reluctance to accommodate work schedules to fathers' needs. In Making Men into Fathers, prominent scholars in gender studies and the critical studies of men consider how varied institutional settings and policy logics around cash and care contour the possibilities and constraints for new models of fatherhood, determining the choices open to men. From different historical and societal perspectives, the authors provide insights into the studies of men as gendered subjects, including the role of transnational and global issues of fatherhood, and the emergence of men's movements, contesting and reimaging fatherhood.
