Understanding this quote

The quote describes a future political challenge: replacing restrictions on a country’s sovereignty that were forced upon it with restrictions it freely accepts. It does not call for unlimited independence. Instead, it contrasts coercion with consent, suggesting that surrendering some control can be legitimate when the decision is voluntary rather than imposed by force.
