You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gerasimos Arsenis''' (((lang-el|Γεράσιμος Αρσένης)); 30 May 1931 – 19 April 2016) was a Greek politician<ref name="kephalonia">((cite web | url = http://www.kefalonia.net.gr/en/infoID.asp?CatID=14&ScatID=105&EntityID=406 | title = Gerasimos Arsenis, Politician | year = 2002 | publisher = kefalonia.net.gr | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20110721082809/http://www.kefalonia.net.gr/en/infoID.asp?CatID=14&ScatID=105&EntityID=406 | archivedate = 21 July 2011 | url-status = dead ))</ref> who served as a Member of the [[Hellenic Parliament]] and as a Minister in several Governments with the [[Panhellenic Socialist Movement]].<ref>((Cite book|last1=Featherstone|first1=Kevin|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ghOCCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA143|title=Prime Ministers in Greece: The Paradox of Power|last2=Papadimitriou|first2=Dimitris|date=2015|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-871717-1|pages=143|language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QHCyAAAAIAAJ&pg=PP33|title=Greece|date=1996|publisher=Embassy of Greece, Press and Information Office|pages=1|language=en))</ref>

==Life==
Gerasimos Arsenis was born in Lourdháta, on the Greek island of [[Kephalonia]]. He went on to study Law at the [[National and Kapodistrian University of Athens]] and after obtaining his degree, he continued his post-graduate studies at the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)]].<ref>((Cite web |last=Newsroom |title=Former PASOK minister Gerasimos Arsenis dies ((!)) eKathimerini.com |url=https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/208064/former-pasok-minister-gerasimos-arsenis-dies/ |access-date=2023-01-06 |website=www.ekathimerini.com |language=English))</ref> It is claimed that he is trilingual, fluent in Greek, English and French.((Citation needed|date=March 2011)) From 1960 until 1964, Arsenis served as an economist with the United Nations Secretariat (working for the Prebisch Group), preparing for the establishment of the [[United Nations Conference on Trade and Development|United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)]]. In 1964, he quit his post with the UN and was appointed to the position of Director of the Research Division of the [[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development|OECD]] Development Centre in Paris, where he remained until 1967.

In 1967, Arsenis was appointed to the position of Senior Economist of the UNCTAD and, in 1974, he was promoted to the seat of Director. During this period as director, Arsenis engaged in research and participated in negotiations concerning reform of the [[International Monetary Fund|International Monetary System]]. From 1974 until 1980, Arsenis also served as an independent expert with UNCTAD, providing consultancy to the Ministerial Committee of Twenty on the Reform of the International Monetary System (later known as the IMF "Interim Committee"). While serving as Director of UNCTAD, Arsenis contributed to the development of numerous proposals – including the creation of [[Special drawing rights|special drawing rights (SDR)]], developmental assistance and coordination of program assistance for the [[World Bank]] and the generation of balance-of-payments financing that the IMF subsequently used for effective stabilization and development support schemes.

In November 1981, he was appointed as Governor of the [[Bank of Greece]], where he remained until February, 1984. During this period, Arsenis oversaw the liberalization of the Greek financial system and modernization of its [[financial regulation|financial regulatory system]]. Arsenis acted as a policy advisor to numerous governments regarding foreign exchange, external financing and [[debt rescheduling]].

Gerasimos Arsenis was married to [[Louka Katseli]], with whom he has raised four children,<ref name="kephalonia" /> and resided in the Greek capital of [[Athens]].((citation needed|date=October 2015)) Arsenis died on 19 April 2016.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.efsyn.gr/arthro/pethane-o-gerasimos-arsenis |script-title=el:Πέθανε ο Γεράσιμος Αρσένης |date=19 April 2016 |access-date=19 April 2016 |language=Greek |trans-title=Gerasimos Arsenis has died))</ref>

==Political career==
Arsenis began his career in politics in 1982, when he was appointed to the position of Minister of National Economy<ref>((cite news|title=AROUND THE WORLD; Greek Economists Join New Cabinet |date=1982-07-06 |work=The New York Times |pages=A.7 |id=((ProQuest|424382548)) ))((dead link|date=January 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref> with the [[Panhellenic Socialist Movement]], a position that he held until 1985. In 1984, he served as a Minister of Economics and was appointed to the Ministry of Mercantile Marine a year later, a position that he held for only a month due to a disagreement on a few matters of economic policy with the Prime Minister, [[Andreas Papandreou]].((citation needed|date=July 2012)) He was replaced by [[Costas Simitis]].

In 1986, Arsenis was expelled from the party, due to severe disagreements with the policies of the government.((citation needed|date=July 2012)) Afterwards, he founded the [[Greek Socialist Party]], which did not appeal to enough Greek voters and was therefore dissolved.

He returned to the Panhellenic Socialist Movement in 1989, which won the national elections of 1993, and Gerasimos Arsenis was appointed the Minister of Defence until 1996. He was the [[Minister of Defense]] during the [[Imia/Kardak|Imia crisis]]. During his post as the Minister, he promoted the new Defense Dogma for Greece and Cyprus, restructured the Defense procurement, and pursued policies of co-operation in the Defense arena with a number of countries in the region.

After the resignation of Andreas Papandreou from the Presidency of the Party, owing to health problems, after a three-month-long hospitalization, which had incapacitated him and created a serious power-vacuum in Greece, the members of the Party asked for elections for a successor. Arsenis announced his candidacy to replace Papandreou, but he lost to Costas Simitis and trailed the second candidate, Akis Tsohatzopoulos.

In 1996, during the government of Costas Simitis, he was appointed as Minister of Education, a position that he held until 2000. Gerasimos Arsenis faced significant opposition for the educational system changes he proposed, some of which, however, stand to this day.

Arsenis was a member of the Hellenic Parliament from 1985 to 1989 (one term), from 1990 to 2004 (four consecutive terms) and from 2006 to 2007 (one term).
