Nowadays ,China is promoting socialist modernization and market economy system with Chinese characteristics and the realization of a well-off society and socialist harmonious society on a whole scale. Meanwhile the construction of a socialist harmonious society is in the process. Therefore it is of great significance to draw lessons from China's experience of socialist modernization construction, to study and learn from the exploration and the achievements the western developed countries had made in the promotion of social harmony.After World War II, western developed capitalist countries have experienced rapid development, the restoration of stagflation and the resumption development stages. Meanwhile, there are several major social crisis. However, Western developed countries maintained stability and harmony relatively on the whole,The theories and policies adopted by the Western Social Democratic Party to promote social harmony has played an significant role. SDP took freedom, equality, and justice as their slogans. In political respective,They exercised parliamentary democracy and Multi-party cooperation,In the economic system, SDP created mixed-economy system and encouraged workers to participate in the management. In social life, they established a welfare system and began to step into the transition to the new "third way". SDP paid special attention to the social justice and the full employment. They also made efforts to reduce the degree of class polarization. These policies greatly improved the living standards of their people,maintained a relatively stable and harmonious state although the society have experienced several frustrations. In diplomacy, SDP promoted freedom,peace and international cooperation.Their diplomatic policies maintained world peace and development to some extent, and promoted the national,regional cooperation and the local country's stability and development.Therefore, SDP gradually expanded its impact in the international community. We should have the dialectical analysis of the main theories and policies adopted by Western Social Democratic Party to promote social harmony.Firstly, Their theories and policies bear some limitations.On one hand, their measures remains sort of reformism.On the other hand,they can not fundamentally resolve the basic contradictions in capitalist society.However, SDP's theories had made some useful attempts in the development of the capitalism, especially in the mediation of social contradictions of capitalism. SDP paid attention to the social fairness,justice and unity and did a good job in social security and welfare system establishment. They realized workers' participation in management, strived for full employment and so on. As a result, the workers really benefited from and obtained some political rights through those attempts. Their efforts also safeguard social stability, and place the social crisis under control. Thus, Western SDP's theories and policies of promoting the social haymony are greatly significant for our country's on-going construction of the harmonious society .
