The role of power and politics in shaping people–environment relationships has been under-researched in mainstream environmental psychology in the Global North. This has not been the case in Ibero-American psycho-environmental studies, interested since their inception in exploring the interplay between community dynamics, power relations and the everyday experiences of place. This chapter argues that the neglect of Ibero-American studies in mainstream environmental psychology is an effect of colonial geopolitics of knowledge, which underplays the epistemic value of the former in an ideologically reinforced lack of attention and global recognition of power, politics and community in the field. To develop this argument, this chapter begins by sketching the main onto-epistemological and ideological assumptions that ground mainstream environmental psychology. Three possible ways of framing the interplay between power, politics, place and psychology are then proposed. The central sections of this chapter summarize two sets of relevant studies in environmental psychology that have foregrounded the role of power, politics and community relations in the organization of people–environment bonds, developed in both the Global North and the Global South. The chapter concludes by highlighting some of the dangers that derive from acritically embracing resilience-based approaches in community environmental psychology.
