  Indirect rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indirect rule is a type of European colonial policy as practiced by the British Empire, in which the traditional local power structure, or at least part of it, is incorporated into the colonial administrative structure.
Therefore, tapping in to the ruling class that ruled the countries before they became colonial property is a very attractive and pragmatic move.
Another motive is a matter of political tactics: the conquerors want the cooperation of the former rulers of the country in order to prevent the risk of a rebellion led by these former rulers.

 Colonial Rule
Indirect rule also appeared safer and more effective: by co-opting the chiefs' inherited legitimacy, European colonial powers hoped both to improve their ability to carry out routine functions, such as tax collection and labor recruitment, and to avoid large-scale revolts.
Indirect rule worked best in the regions where strong and highly organized states were already in place, like Northern Nigeria, and where the recognized authorities, like the Sokoto caliph, welcomed European collaboration.
Fundamental to the logic of indirect rule, for example, was the belief that Africa was comprised of hundreds of mutually exclusive, geographically distinct, and centrally ruled "tribes." In reality, African cultural identities were complex and dynamic.

Indirect purchasers could be presumed as a matter of law to have borne 100% of the overcharge if the direct purchaser is subject to a written, legally binding obligation /30/ to pass on the entire amount of an overcharge.
And while indirect purchasers might have adequate incentive to sue despite their small individual stakes, /32/ we have already noted that the direct purchaser's incentive to sue is unlikely to vanish even if regulation requires pass through of the recovered overcharge.
Illinois Brick held that "whatever rule is to be adopted regarding pass-on in antitrust damage actions, it must apply equally to plaintiffs and defendants," 431 U.S. at 728, and declined to overrule or limit the rule of Hanover Shoe.

 Indirect Rule
Indirect rule, on the other hand, was grounded in the language of autonomy and authenticity, and many emirs supported it.
One school maintained that indirect rule was inauthentic despite its guise--because the emirs were sullied by their interaction with the colonialists.
Lord Lugard, the architect of indirect rule, put it this way: "It is a cardinal principle of British colonial policy that the interests of a large native population shall not be subject to the will...

The institutional framework of rule enshrined in apartheid and in all late colonialism, hinged especially on its use of "indirect" rule over the natives by local chiefs using "customary law".
In Southern Africa at least, white authorities sought to transplant indirect rule into the "native" townships, and to sustain the figment of "tribal" solidarity under chiefly control in the urban setting where fl migratory labor was seen as transient, and still grafted to its rural umbilical cord.
To contend as Mamdani does on a "conveyer belt" of migrant tribals from rural to urban, all governed by common ethnicity and indirect rule, is simply and factually untenable, however persuasive may be the archival legal statutes underpinning this concept that he quotes.

Indirect Rule, Bivona notes, was "a carefully staged economy of unsung heroism" in which the invisibility of the administrator, his self-negation, was glorified.
Despite this rhetoric, Bivona claims, Indirect Rule actually served to "institutionalize the manufacture of leaders with godlike powers, expertise, and fields of action out of otherwise ordinary English bureaucrats." While Indirect Rule appeared to diminish the power of colonial administrators, the system of rule and its attendant ideologies in fact enhanced their prestige.
The imperial bureaucrat of Indirect Rule was part of the same process of subjectification that reinvented indigenous traditions, and that produced a series of bourgeois colonized, often initially Anglophilic elites.

RULE 2: Fio functions as the passive of facio (but it is not related to facio linguistically).
In the same way that certain verbs can trigger indirect statement and indirect question, indirect command is introduced by verbs of ordering, advising, requesting, permitting, contriving and urging, all of which can "indirectly" relate what was expressed in direct speech using the imperative mood.
The subjunctive verb in the ensuing clause follows the rules of sequence of tenses seen also in purpose, result and indirect question.

In response to comments confirming that current indirect TPMSs cannot meet the proposed three- tire, 25 percent under-inflation requirements, and in order to allow those systems to be used during the phase-in, the agency is adopting requirements for detection of one-tire, 30 percent under-inflation as the first option.
Toyota, which uses an indirect TPMS on its Sienna van, stated that its next generation of indirect TPMSs (i.e., TPMSs not available for current production) would be able to detect a 20 percent differential in tire pressure by monitoring the resonance frequency as well as the dynamic radius changes of the tires.
This would solve the problem indirect TPMSs have in detecting when two tires on the same axle or the same side of the vehicle become significantly under-inflated because a direct pressure sensor will be in a wheel on each axle and on each side of the vehicle.

 Social Research: Historicizing Power and Responses to Power: Indirect Rule and Its Reform
One is then likely to think of British indirect rule in 20th century Africa as similar to Ottoman rule in another part of the world a few centuries earlier, and both analogous to feudal Europe and the king tolerating multiple jurisdictions: of the lord, of the Church, and so on.
Whereas direct rule sought to shape the world of the elite amongst the conquered population, the object of indirect rule was to shape the world of the colonized masses.
Direct rule took for granted the preferences of the mass of the population, and instead sought to shape the preferences of an elite detached from this mass.

 Law Enforcement in British Colonial Africa (by Mathieu Deflem)
Further, the principle of indirect rule was considered secondary to the overall political and economic objectives of colonial rule.
In the case of interventionist indirect rule, the native chiefs were governed as dependent rulers and their traditional administration was gradually adapted to the alien institutions of British rule.
Non-interventionist indirect rule left the traditional authorities to their own devices, but only to the extent that the over-all political and economic goals of colonialism were not threatened.

The United States is trying to get an approximately colonial system of indirect rule up and running in Iraq after June 30th, one more limited in its conception and at least notionally shorter in its projected lifespan than the early 20th Century British equivalent, but one nevertheless.
Sixth reason: British indirect rule, for all its rhetoric of “the civilizing mission”, was ultimately much more modest in its ambitions in most cases than American rule in Iraq is today.
American indirect rule in Iraq exists in a world that is largely mobilized against imperial ambitions, often insincerely or instrumentally, but mobilized nevertheless.

 Nigeriaworld -- Ojukwu and the Igbo Case for Justice
In fact, the Indirect Rule system gave a tremendous boost to those monarchs whose status and standings became greatly enhanced with the colonial policy of vicarious administration through powerful local agents.
Among the Igbo people, Indirect Rule and its taxation system became a monumental disaster, a terrible burden, and in fact a quasi slavery experience for the freedom and democracy-accustomed Igbo nation.
Until the British Lord Lugard manufactured his tax scheme called Indirect Rule, the Igbo hardly paid taxes to anybody, not to talk of a foreign power that was clearly using the hands of Esau and the voice of Jacob to extort money from the usually independent-minded people of Igbo land.

Under indirect rule, caliphate officials were transformed into salaried district heads and became, in effect, agents of the British authorities, responsible for peacekeeping and tax collection.
Efforts to apply indirect rule to the south, which was formally a protectorate from 1906, in emulation of Lugard's successful policy in the north set off a search for legitimate indigenous authorities through whom the policy could be implemented.
The Igbo therefore stressed traditional egalitarian principles as a justification for their early opposition to colonial rule; in Yorubaland and in the north, the devolution of administrative duties to the indigenous ruling elites contained much of the early opposition.

 Stark II Phase II -- Implications for Physicians and Groups   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Much of the rest is either derived from the original Stark I rule published in 1995, and applicable then only to clinical lab services, or was previewed in the proposed Stark II rule in 1998, before the rulemaking was split into two phases.
The rule itself runs twenty pages in length -probably 20,000 words or more, and the preamble to the rule in which CMS tries to explain all this and provide additional clarification is four times as long again.
The Phase II rule follows the 1998 proposal in narrowing this exception so that, except in the lab context, it can only be used if the arrangement in question is not eligible for one of the other compensation exceptions.

 Fading Suns
The GM may rule that, in certain situations, knowledge, expertise, the actions of allied domains or actions taken by individual PCs may allow a domain ruler to gain the bonuses for complementary skill use when rolling for a domain action.
It should be noted that the rules on indirect or feudal rule presented above are designed to represent the institutional paralysis of an political organization which is being given little or no clear direction from its head (the domain ruler).
This type of rule is often sadly lacking in the world of Fading Suns, but a conscientious and open-minded leader can better the lot of his subjects, employees or flock to a remarkable degree, as well as reinforcing his own popularity and fortunes.

Some 'recalcitrant' subjects insisted on inspecting these boxes before the voting started; this led to a stand-off.
