Overview
Provides an original contribution to the literature on outlaw innovation, the nature of military innovation, and the importance of antagonistic relationships in driving technological change
Supplies new evidence that traditional accounts based upon co-evolutionary explanations fall short in explaining antagonistic relationships when actors are confronted with a high degree of uncertainty, and face barriers to innovations such as the illegality of their actions
Proposes that innovation should not be analysed regarding the technical properties of the artefacts deployed by both sides but in the dispersed character of their innovation activities
Contributes fresh insights to the growing fields of Innovation Studies and STS, concerning the role users play in the process of innovation
