He was married to Adrienne Clarkson , later to become a CBC Television broadcaster and Governor General Of Canada , from 1963 to 1975 . He subsequently married political journalist Christina McCall , with whom he co-authored ''Trudeau and Our Times'', a two-volume biography of Pierre Trudeau . His published works are primarily concerned with two areas of academic interest: the evolution of North America as a continental state, reinstitutionalized by NAFTA and two decades of neo-conservatism; and the impact of globalization and trade liberalization on the Canadian state. In the field of International Relations , Clarkson's works primarily fall under the World Systems Theory paradigm, focusing on the relationships between states and institutions based on class structure, placing Canada as a Peripheral or Semi-peripheral state in comparison to the core state to which Canada is dependent. His other books include ''Uncle Sam and Us: Globalization, Neoconservatism and the Canadian State'', published in 2002 ; and ''Global Governance and the Semi-peripheral State: The WTO and NAFTA as Canada's External Constitution'' in ''Governing under Stress: Middle Powers and the Challenge of Globalization'' In 1969 , Clarkson ran for the position of Mayor Of Toronto as the official nominee of the municipal Liberals in Toronto. He placed third. His 1972 book, ''City Lib: Parties and Reform'', is an examination of the issues facing cities and makes the case for political parties at the municipal level. It is also a humorous and self-deprecating look at his own unsuccessful foray into municipal politics. EXTERNAL LINKS |
