Sociology of sociology or metasociology is an area of sociology that combines social theories with analysis of the effect of socio-historical contexts in sociological intellectual production.^{[citation needed]}

In his book A History of Sociology in Britain, published 2004, British sociologist Andrew Halsey outlines a sociology of sociology. He suggests a connection between political economic regimes in the 20th century and the development of sociology as an academic discipline.^[2]
