From Denmark, immigrants and refugees are able to keep up with, get involved in and, to a certain extent, participate in political processes in their own, their parents’ or their grandparents’ country of origin. They may get involved in solidarity work on behalf of persecuted parties or defend the regime in their home country when it is criticized in the Danish media. How do these activities affect their political integration in Denmark? The study compares the scope of and opportunities for involvement in home country politics among Turkish and Kurdish immigrants and refugees in Denmark, Germany and The Netherlands. The involvement varies significantly among different groups from Turkey and among the same groups in different countries. Transnational political involvement is not equally welcome in the three countries because it adds another dimension to the integration policy context. The study shows, however, that political loyalty and involvement is not a zero sum game, and that lobbyism in one’s home country can even be a constructive introduction to Danish politics. It is therefore important not to restrict the participation of immigrant and refugee associations in integration policy because of their involvement in politics in their country of origin.
