This was one of the factors that led to the foundation of the EU, as small, less powerful nations united in an effort to gain and hold power in a collective effort (Tyldesley). Therefore, in the "Five Lenses" and especially so in the case of EU, power is in essence the coin of the realm. In other words, without holding a superior position to others, class structure would not really help any coalition, as the ability to leverage into more lucrative relationships would not exist.
Risk- Any coalition is extremely risky; referring back to the earlier elements, there is the possibility of losing power or coming out of the collaborative effort worse off than when the effort was entered into.
Risk being understood, when looking at the coalition that has come to be known as the EU is extremely risky, especially when one considers the turbulent and violent past of Europe as a whole.
Structure- Class structure is an often overlooked, but perhaps the most important facet of the Five Lens Theory. Within this structure, a coalition must operate and therefore, the structure must, quite literally, be strong enough to "hold" the coalition in its present state, and to be able to accommodate future growth. The EU is undoubtedly experiencing growing pains due to an often murky structure (Brittan). Going forward, it will be extremely important for the EU to form structure from an efficient strategic planning viewpoint. While it is impossible for the future to be predicted, the EU, with wise planning of strategy, can maintain an inner structure that promotes external growth.
Timeframe- it is estimated that at least a dozen countries will join the EU over the next decade or so, in part because member nations of the EU enjoy a wide range of benefits which are significant...

The model that emerged from the study proposes that there is a relationship of life mission with transformational learning and self-directed learning. Adult educators may improve their learning process when they provide some way for learners to understand their life's mission and relate it to learning. This may help the learning experience go from being teacher-directed to being more student-directed. The study suggests that purpose seeking must be included
