Spanish term or phrase: como si se tratara de planteamientos sustitutivos

En definitiva, el Whistleblower ha de saber que, en su momento, se va a ver abocado a optar entre lo que Max Weber denominaba una ética de la convicción –centrada en el fin, en los valores, en los principios- y una ética de la responsabilidad –centrada en los medios, en las consecuencias y en lo que se espera del papel social que cada quien representa en un momento dado.

Esta dicotomía, naturalmente, en condiciones normales no la suelen vivir quienes toman decisiones dentro de los contextos profesionales **como si se tratara de planteamientos sustitutivos**. De hecho la tendencia y lo deseable es a evitar que dichos contextos hayan de enfrentar al sujeto ante la opción del todo o nada.

as if it were a matter of alternate approaches

Explanation:
After reminiscing about the possible meaning of this, I feel this may be it.

In other words, it depends on which hat, or in this case, whether an administrator or a whistleblower
