European Perspectives on Men and Masculinities National and Transnational Approaches

Drawing on collective work in fourteen countries over four years, this book reviews the state of knowledge and critical research on men and masculinities within Europe, emphasizing: men's relations to home and work, social exclusion, violences, and health; Europe-wide social change and no-change in men's practices; Europeanization and globalization; and fundamental changes in post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe. Addressing politics, policy and analysis on men in relation to these matters is increasingly important and urgent.
