摘要：As the articles in this special issue attest, the scholarly study of fathers has become a global phenomenon. The articles are based on just a few of the papers dealing with fathers presented at the International Sociological Association’s XVII World Congress of Sociology held in Durban, South Africa in 2006. The papers presented by authors from around the globe were part of sessions organized by the ISA’s Committee on Family Research. The articles selected for publication focus on fathers caring for young children within the constraints men face when trying to meet diverse fatherhood expectations. Several articles address the role parental leave from paid work plays in fathering. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were utilized to study fathers, fathering, and fatherhood in South Africa, Belgium, Finland, Japan, Italy, Sweden, and France. Many comparisons are made with other nations, especially the United States.
