  -> Usually yes, but in this case the word means a close relation or a link, a bond, an attraction. It's an old meaning, derived too from the Latin word affectio.

Explanation:
Se o decrescimento é um conceito afeto aos países desenvolvidos, como discuti-lo na perspectiva dos países em desenvolvimento?

If economic recession is an idosyncracy of /a concept particular (peculiar) to / developed countries, how can we discuss such from the perspective of developing countries? -> idiosyncracy - no jokes about idiocy please - gets away from the abstract 'idea of concept'.

--- afecto a in Portuguese and afecto a in Spanish, coincidentally as a weasel-adjective, acting very 'peculiarly' in those and other poetic Romance lingos.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: pt proibição que afete a espécie em questão COM en prohibition affecting the species involved COM
  • ProZ: Portuguese term or phrase: crescimento e decrescimento English translation: growth and recession [context: economics] Entered by: Heathcliff

Note: I really dont think CONCEPT is required in the En version, as, IMO it appears to be superfluous
