The absolute loss of security may imply the loss of national self-rule, only leaving collective security as a solution to external existential threats. The states and their constituents thus may essentially engage in a trade-off of the two conceptions of sovereignty.
Looking Out For Sovereignty
Politices Security and Autonomy in European Integration
Key Insights

We propose a two-dimensional theoretical framework, in which two distinct conceptions of sovereignty - one shaped by the interests of security and one by those of national autonomy clash in the postfunctional mass arena.
