中文摘要：

东部发达地区在率先达到全面小康社会指标之后．提出率先基本实现现代化的奋斗目标．符合十八大报告中强调的有条件的地方在现代化建设中继续走在前列．为全国改革发展作出更大贡献的要求。发展经济学中的发展极理论说明基本现代化不能齐步走。我国现实国情也决定了现代化进程必然是“区域推进”的方式。东部发达地区率先基本实现现代化不仅有物质基础，而且有市场经济体制和机制的基础。根据缪尔达尔提出的“地理二元经济理论”．发达地区率先发展可以通过扩散效应带动欠发达地区的发展。东部地区的劳动和资源密集型产业向中西部地区转移。有利于实现全国范围内的快速、协调发展。东部地区率先应对发展中的难题，在现代化进程中先试先行，可以为我国实现基本现代化提供成功的经验。

英文摘要：

The goal set for the developed eastern China to take the lead in achieving basic moderniza- tion accords with the requirement emphasized in the report of 18m plenary session of CPC that regions with conditions keep in the front rank in modernization and make greater contributions to the whole nation＇s re- form and development. The theory of development poles in developmental economy clarifies that basic mod- ernization cannot go at even paces; moreover, China＇s situation determines the pattern of regional advance- ment in the course of modernization. The developed eastern China is to take the lead in achieving the basic modernization owing to not only a material basis but also a basis of market economy mechanisms. According to G. Myrdal＇s geographical dual economy, developed regions take the lead in development can bring along the development of developing regions through diffusion effect. The eastern regions are to take the lead in responding to difficulties in development, so their trial and practice can provide experience for China＇s mod- ernization.
