Features: The Decision of the 6th Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues Concerning the Construction of a Harmonious Society points out that social harmony is the essential attribute of socialism with Chinese characteristics, an important guarantee for national prosperity, rejuvenation of the nation, and people's happiness. Promoting social harmony is an unavoidable responsibility for the government. Under the market economy conditions, the government should build a service-oriented government, strengthen social management and public service functions. The government should use public financial means to improve the public finance system and gradually achieve equalization of basic public services. The government should play a full role in social management and public service. In the process of building a harmonious socialist society, we must strengthen social construction and improve the social management system, and establish a social management pattern with the Party's leadership, government responsibility, social coordination, and public participation. As the main body of public management, the government should play a leading role, and public finance is the economic foundation for the government to fulfill its role. This book is included in the "Series of Theoretical Studies on the Construction of a Harmonious Society." Comprehensively building a harmonious socialist society is an important strategic task for the Party and the state in the process of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Continuously advancing and deepening this research is a historical responsibility of theoretical workers. The Shanghai Municipal Party School / Shanghai Administrative College held the International Academic Conference on "Promoting the Construction of a Harmonious Society and Harmonious Communities" in 2006. This book is a collection of excellent papers from the conference. The book upholds the fine academic tradition of combining theory with practice, conducts in-depth research from multiple angles and aspects on major issues of building a harmonious socialist society from an international perspective, and actively explores the laws governing the construction of a harmonious socialist society.
