摘要：中国自20世纪70年代末开始吸引外商直接投资(FDI)，到21世纪初期，外资经济在我国经济中已经占有十分重要的地位。但是，必须注意的是FDI的地区分布极度不平衡，80%以上分布在东部沿海地区，中国区域经济二元化结构日趋严重。

　　　毋庸置疑，改革开放35年来，我国利用外商直接投资工作取得了巨大的成就,外商直接投资在推动我国经济增长方面扮演了关键性的角色。本文主要以经济全球化趋势下的国际资本流动和改革开放以来的经济现实为背景，对改革开放以来外商直接投资流入与我国城市经济发展之间的关系进行了实证研究。同时以我国江苏省南通市为例对南通市外商直接投资区位分布和投资结构对城市经济影响进行细致的分析。最后针对利用外商直接投资过程中出现的问题，对关于如何一步利用好外商直接投资，趋利避害，引导和调控外商投资健康发展提出了相应的解决办法和政策建议。
