After explaining the methodology and the data, the article introduces a typology of transnationalism reflecting these varieties, which is followed by the argument that there is a positive, concurrent and mutually beneficial, relationship between transnationalism and integration.International relationsEmigration, immigrationTurkeyGermany / Uluslararası ilişkilerGöç, göçmenlikTürkiyeAlmanyaJournal Article2651-33157620
