At this stage in history the Byzantines had a number of challenges. The most pressing problem was the wars in the Balkans against the Serbs and the encroachments made by the Normans in Italy. Another problem was the Turks in Anatolia who were an ever present problem. But the Kommeni dynasty showed that these foes could be kept at bay provided that Byzantium was unified under a strong emperor. This was the case when Alexius and his son John were emperors. However, after them the quality of emperor's declined, especially after the end of the Kommeni dynasty. The new emperors were not strong enough to keep the nobles in check, a number of civil wars destroyed Byzantium's army and economy.
Therefore, we can conclude the greatest threat was not an external foe, it was the internal political setup. Byzantium needed a strong, competent emperor who could keep the nobles in order and focus the resources of the empire against short/medium term external threats.

The Greek civilization did control the developments in the Mediterranean and Black sea not by force but through the language, the science, the philisophy and literature in general since the 6th century BCE until the Platonic Academy was closed by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I at 529 AD/ CE. The Greek language remained in use until the fall of the Byzantine Empire and survived even the first years of the Ottoman Empire as the official language of State issues
As the empire rose, Byzantine emperors and the pope often clashed. Byzantine emperors took interest in religion and considered themselves the final authority on religion issues while popes, however, insisted that they had ultimate say on such matters. (insisted they had a "say-so" a.k.a. "opinion" on the situation.) In 1504, this led to schism. # How did schism effect the Christian church? Resource: 7th grade history book
One: the implosion of central authority in Rome, where an ever-faster succession of Emperors were mostly busy with (literally) surviving until killed, usually by their own supporters. Two: the great movement across Europe of whole populations, uprooted elsewhere, who often (and often successfully) tried to settle in the Roman Empire's provinces, further eroding Roman authority there. It was the westernRoman Empire that collapsed, by the way. The eastern part of the Roman Empire - better known as the Byzantine Empire - would carry on for another thousand years.By the time the last western Roman Emperor ruled, his rule hardly extended beyond today's Italy. When he was deposed, his Gothic successor Odoacer did not even bother to call himself Roman Emperor anymore. He simply called himself King of Italy.
It depends on the century the question refers to. In the 16th Century, the Ottoman Empire was the most powerful empire west of China. In the 19th Century, the Ottoman Empire was one of the weakest empires in the world and called the "Sick Man of Europe".
King Darius appointed Satraps or governors to rule various provinces in his empire for easier governance. By appointing Satraps, he was free from mundane daily bureaucratic issues of ruling an empire that streched from the northern borders of India, the entire Middle East and all the way to Libya and parts of Greece.
