In Russia and Asia, anti-Western groups are at the forefront of the campaign against globalization. In Europe, populist parties have tended to emphasize their aversion to European integration, with those on the right often also condemning (3) immigration, while the left denounces rising economic inequality. In Latin America, the enemy seems to be foreign abetment (4) of any kind. In Africa, tribal separatists oppose anyone standing in the way of independence. And in the Middle East, the Islamic State (ISIS) virulently rejects modernity – and targets societies that embrace it.

All they see are massive, unbending organisation (5) and intolerable inequalities in wealth and income, and they blame globalization.
Choose the correct answer from the given options.
