First bribery (he said he could take any city as long as there was a path up which he could drive a donkey loaded with gold).
Second, by defeating them on the battlefield with his superior phalanx and cavalry.

What happened to Greek democratic practices when Philip of Macedonia conquered Greece?
By the time Philip gained control of the Greek city-states, the failures of direct democracy (liberalism & mob rule) had reduced the number and scope of democratic governments. This saw resurgence in monarchy, oligarchy and tyrannies. Democracies existed at the pleasure of the king and then his son Alexander, and then their successor generals split the empire into kingdoms of their own.

How did Philip of Macedon unify his civilization?
It wasn't a civilisation, it was the beginning of an empire as far as he was concerned. He began by conquering territory in Eastern Europe, putting down resistance by Greek cities. By manipulating and bribing the weaker Greek city-states, he gained control of the Amphictyonic Council which influenced Greek cultural matters. He put down resistance by Thebes and Athens. He rallied the Greek cities by giving them a stake (promise of loot etc)in his grand plan to conquer the Persian Empire. Unfortunately for him the assassin's knife took him before he launched that phase, and it was left to his sone Alexander to carry it out.
