The idea of “management” is central to our understanding of how people interact with their resources, but many challenges have arisen to traditional concepts of western, science-based resource management. Management is a set of actions taken to guide a system towards achieving desired goals and objectives. A Management System is the sum of these actions, goals and objectives, the process through which they are legitimized by social norms, and the institutions and actors involved in carrying them out. Reframing the concept from management to management system provides a tool for better understanding how social and ecological dynamics act as coupled drivers of managed ecosystems. Seen from this perspective, there are strong parallels between the traditional resource management systems of indigenous peoples and western science-based management systems. Stewardship is a western concept which resonates with the foundations of traditional resource management systems. Both systems of management can be understood on gradients of human influence on ecosystems and of management intensity. Sustainability can emerge across various locations along these gradients. Achieving an integrated understanding of the coupled dynamics of social and ecological systems is a central challenge for both managers and for researchers. ResumenLa idea de “manejo” es central para nuestro entendimiento de cómo la gente interactúa con sus recursos. Sin embargo, muchos retos han surgido a los conceptos tradicionales occidentales sobre el manejo de recursos basados en la ciencia. Manejo es un conjunto de acciones tomadas con el fin de guiar un sistema para alcanzar metas y objetivos deseados. Un Sistema de Manejo es la suma de estas acciones, sus metas y objetivos, el proceso a través del cual éstas se legitiman por normas sociales, y las instituciones y actores involucrados en llevarlas a cabo. Replantear el concepto de manejo por el de sistema de manejo proporciona una herramienta para el mejor entendimiento de cómo las dinámicas sociales y ecológicas actúan como conductores acoplados de los ecosistemas manejados. Desde esta perspectiva, existen fuertes paralelismos entre los sistemas tradicionales de manejo de recursos de los pueblos indígenas y los sistemas de manejo occidentales basados en la ciencia. Stewardship es un concepto occidental que armoniza con las bases éticas de los sistemas tradicionales del manejo de recursos. Ambos sistemas de manejo pueden ser entendidos como gradientes de influencia humana sobre los ecosistemas y la intensidad de manejo. La sustentabilidad puede emerger en varios puntos a lo largo de estos gradientes. Alcanzar un entendimiento integrado de la dinámica acoplada de los sistemas sociales y ecológicos es un reto central tanto para manejadores como para investigadores
