What specific actions did Alexander take to unify the hellenisitc world?

Primarily by conquest. He also spin doctored his invasion of Persia as a "retaliatory" strike on Persia for her much earlier invasion of Greece. Few Greeks really believed that, but it sounded good. Additionally, because he needed the Athenian navy (Macedon didn't have [much of] one), when Thebes and Athens allied shortly after he took the throne, in an attempt to rebel against Philip II's Corinthian League, ATG gave Athens fairly light punishment. Thebes, by contrast, was razed to the ground.

But again, nobody was under any illusions. The Greek south did what ATG said, because otherwise, they faced Macedonian sarissai (spears) -- e.g., they'd be attacked.
