Synopsis: This study aims to understand political transnationalism through the political incorporation of migrants in the receiving country. With a qualitative analysis of the perceptions of transnational second-generation Turks towards the political opportunity structures in Germany and the Netherlands, it seeks an answer to the question &‘How do political opportunity structures in the receiving country shape political transnationalism among Turkish migrants in Western Europe?&’ It suggests a causal explanation for the impact of political opportunity structures on political transnationalism through a model called &‘constrained opportunities&’. The empirical results reveal &‘constraints&’ on political opportunity structures that lead to deficient immigrant political incorporation in the country of residence and reinforce political attachment with the country of origin.
